Lamotrigine-induced Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Diagnostic Dilemma

Indian Dermatol Online J. 2018 Nov-Dec;9(6):445-447. doi: 10.4103/idoj.IDOJ_24_18.

Abstract

Many drugs are known to cause systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), however there are no well defined criteria for drug induced lupus erythematosus (DILE). We present a rare case of lamotrigine induced lupus presenting as acute syndrome of apoptotic pan epidermolysis (ASAP).

Keywords: Acute syndrome of apoptotic pan epidermolysis; Systemic Lupus erythematosus; lamotrigine.
