Cefuroxime-induced congenital fixed drug eruption: A case report

Fixed drug eruption was first described by Brocq in 1894 in association with antipyrine therapy. Since then numerous cases have been reported across the globe, some in association with drugs and others in association with food ingredients. We had a patient born with lesions having the characteristic of drug eruption clinically and interface dermatitis histologically. We considered it a case of ‘congenital fixed drug eruption’ as it was reproduced by cefuroxime.
