Abstract
Cutaneous adverse drug reactions vary in severity, from mild erythematous skin lesions to life-threatening toxic epidermal necrolysis. Antiepileptics, antipsychotics, antimicrobials, and diuretics are associated with these adverse reactions. We report a case of cefditoren pivoxil-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis in a 46-year-old Indian woman who presented initially with a maculopapular rash that eventually progressed to steroid-refractory toxic epidermal necrolysis. The patient succumbed to her illness on day 33 of the index rash following septic shock.
