Abstract
Erythroderma is generalized exfoliative dermatitis, which involves more than 90% of the patient's skin. The most common cause of erythroderma is exacerbation of an underlying skin disease, malignancies or drug reaction. There is a long list of drugs responsible for erythroderma such as antiepileptics, sulfonamides, antibiotics, and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. We herein report a case of erythroderma due to gliclazide usage which is also proved by histopathologic examination and patch test. We could not find any case report of gliclazide, an oral antidiabetic, as a cause erythroderma in the literature.
