AB KEY  POINTSCutaneous  drug  eruptions  are  one  of  the  most  common  signs  of  adverse  drug  reaction.Certain  types  of  drug  eruptions  may  occur  with  increased  frequency  in  various  racial  groups  as  elucidated  by  recent  pharmacogenetic  studies.Cutaneous  adverse  drug  reactions  vary  greatly  in  clinical  findings  and  symptoms.A  systematic  approach  to  identifying  drug  eruptions  including  a  complete  medication  history  and  recognition  of  reaction  patterns  on  clinical  examination  are  important  in  determining  the  causative  medication.Early  withdrawal  of  suspected  medications  is  essential,  along  with  supportive  care  and  case-dependent  appropriate  treatment.
