ABSTRACT
Etofenamate is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Clinical findings caused by etofenamate are uncommon. Allergic contact dermatitis is the most common cutaneous reaction reported. But petechial eruption due to etofenamate had not been reported yet. This report concerns an 11-year old male with petechial eruption after application of topical etofenamate. Physicians need to be aware that patients can develop an asymptomatic purpuric eruption when etofenamate is ordered.
RESUMEN
El etofenamato es un antiinflamatorio no esteroideo (AINE). Los hallazgos clínicos sobre los efectos del etofenamato son poco comunes. La dermatitis alérgica por contacto es la reacción cutánea más comúnmente reportada. En cambio, la erupción petequial a causa del etofenamato no se había reportado hasta ahora. Este reporte trata de un varón de 11 años de edad con erupción petequial tras la aplicación del etofenamato tópico. Es necesario que los médicos tomen conciencia de que los pacientes pueden desarrollar una erupción púrpura asintomática, a la hora de prescribir el etofenamato.
