Abstract
-
Occasionally, erythema multiforme has been reported to occur in association with allergic contact dermatitis to various substances including paraquat(Gramoxone(R)). In these cases the erythema multiforme has ranged from mild localized exanthem to life-threatening toxic epidermal necrolysis. We report a case of toxic epidermal necrolysis developed from erythema multiform due to contact of paraquat.
