ABSTRACT
Erythema multiforme is an acute cutaneous reaction which manifests as macular patches and edematous papules commonly involving the hands, feet, forearm and mucous membranes. It is thought to be caused by viral and bacterial infections, neoplasms, autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and also by pharmaceuticals such as sulfonamides, phenytoin, barbiturates, penicillins, carbamazepines. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been also reported as a possible cause. However, meloxicam that is a kind of cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor has not been rarely reported as a cause of erythema multiforme. Therefore, we report a case with a review of the literature.
