Short Communication: Multifocal fixed drug eruption to azithromycin

Sir, fixed drug eruptions (FDE) are one of the commonest adverse drug reactions encountered by dermatologists in day to day practice. Though usually not fatal, FDE can cause enough cosmetic embarrassment especially when they recur on the previously affected sites leaving behind residual hyperpigmentation. Brocq in 1984, coined the term fixed eruption to describe a pattern of skin eruption due to antipyrine.
