Dermatologic manifestations of lithium: a review

G L Bakris et al. Int J Psychiatry Med. 1980.

Abstract

This paper summarizes the major dermatologic and immunologic complications associated with lithium carbonate ingestion. This drug has demonstrated proven efficacy in the treatment of bipolar affective disorder. This fact, the authors believe, outweights its dermatologic complications, and only exacerbation of psoriasis warrants termination of therapy.
