Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a cutaneous adverse drug eruption characterized by skin lesions which recur in the same sites upon reexposure to the drug. 1, 2 It may occur as single or multiple lesions affecting any part of the body, with predilection for the genitalia, hands and lips. 1 Loxoprofen sodium hydrate 3 (LX-P)(Loxonin; Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd, Tokyo, Japan) is a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) that was approved in Japan in 1986. Amoxicillin hydrate 4 (AMPC)(Sawacillin; Astellas Pharma Inc., Tokyo, Japan) is an antibiotic that was approved in Japan in 1974. Here, we report a case of a 38-year-old man diagnosed with FDE caused by LX-P.A 38-year-old man visited the emergency department in our hospital for diagnosis and treatment of erosions on the lip and intraoral mucosa that had been present for 3 days. Two weeks before his first visit to the emergency department, he had taken azithromycin hydrate for 1 day, oseltamivir phosphate for 3 days, and LX-P for 5 days to suppress the symptoms of common cold. On the following day, he noticed an erosion on the left side of lower lip. The erosion was healed spontaneously in 3 days. Three days later, he started taking LX-P for 5 days and AMPC for 1 day because he still had the symptoms of common cold. During this period, he noticed a fever over 37 C and severe erosions on the lip and intraoral mucosa. Therefore, he stopped all drugs and visited the emergency department (on day 3 after the onset of second eruption). The emergency room doctor suspected herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection and prescribed valacyclovir hydrochloride 1000 mg/day for 5 days. Two days later (on day 5 after the onset of second eruption), he visited our department. Deep erosions were present on the left side of lower lip (Fig. 1 a), intraoral mucosa, and glans penis (Fig. 1 b) with normal body temperature (36.5 C). There were no clinical ocular symptoms or erythematous skin lesions. He complained of difficulty in mouth opening because of the severe intraoral pain. He stated that he noticed new erosions on the glans penis this morning. Laboratory tests were within normal limits, including liver and kidney functions. The white blood cell count (8800/μl; normal range, 3400e7300/μl), including neutrophils (6590/μl; normal range, 1214e5110/μl), and serum levels of C-reactive protein (0.79 mg/dl; normal range, 0e0. 2 mg/dl) were slightly elevated. The eosinophil percentage (0.2%; normal 0e8%) was within normal limits. The negative serological tests for syphilis and human immunodeficiency virus were seen. No fungal infection on the glans penis was identified by a potassium hydroxide test. On the basis of his
