ABSTRACT
The term "fixed drug eruption" was coined by Louis Brocq in 1894 to describe a special type of reaction to antipyrine. It is now known that many drugs can cause a fixed drug eruption. Notorious offenders have included phenolphthalein, quinine and barbiturates. We present a case of multiple fixed drug eruption appearing in a 20 year-old male patient who has generalized slate-blue colored pigmentation on neck, trunk and extremities. The area of total pigmented skin lesions are over 50% of body surface. We could confirm the fixed drug eruption by positive phenobarbital provocation test.
