Abstract
Dermatologists need to be aware of recent reports of adverse drug reactions affecting the skin. Reviewed here are reports of novel agents causing skin reactions — new antiviral therapies used in HIV infection, lamotrigine, nicorandil, fluoroquinolones, hydroxyurea and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor — together with developments in patterns of drug-related skin disorders, specifically acral manifestations, bullous pemphigoid and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis.
