Bullous pemphigoid--an adverse effect of ampicillin

E Hodak et al. Clin Exp Dermatol. 1990 Jan.

Abstract

A young patient developed an acute self-limited bullous eruption shortly following ampicillin ingestion, with histopathological and immunofluorescent features fulfilling the criteria of bullous pemphigoid. A review of the relevant literature is made with special emphasis on the heterogenous and sometimes misleading faces of drug-induced bullous pemphigoid.
