Abstract
|
|
|
|
A drug eruption is any adverse skin reaction caused by a drug used in a normal dose. Celecoxib(Celebrexn^ ), a cyclooxygenase(COX) 2 inhibitor, is a new generation non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug, recently introduced in Korea. It is increasingly used because of significantly lower rate of gastrointestinal injury than typically seen with most other NSAIDs. Cutaneous reactions related to celecoxib are rare and there have been no previous reports in Korea. We report a case of drug eruption probably due to this drug with positive skin tests and wish to underline the possible cutaneous reactions with this new drug.
