Bullous hemorrhagic dermatosis induced by enoxaparin

Ana Isabel Gouveia et al. Cutan Ocul Toxicol. 2016.

Abstract

The bullous hemorrhagic dermatosis induced by enoxaparin is a rare adverse reaction, which may be under-reported given its favorable evolution. We report a 71-year-old man who developed hemorrhagic bullae at sites distant from subcutaneous enoxaparin injections. It is important that clinicians be aware of the different adverse reactions of these widely used drugs.

Keywords: Adverse drug reaction; bullous dermatoses; enoxaparin; heparin.
