AB Cutaneous  reactions  are  among  the  most  frequent  adverse  reactions  to  drugs.  Most  are  benign,  but  a  few  can  be  life  threatening.  Prompt  recognition  of  severe  reactions,  drug  withdrawal,  and  appropriate  therapeutic  interventions  can  minimize  toxicity.  This  chapter  focuses  on  adverse  cutaneous  reactions  to  systemic  medications;  it  covers  their  incidence,  patterns,  and  pathogenesis,  and  provides  some  practical  guidelines  on  treatment,  assessment  of  causality,  and  future  use  of  drugs.
