Abstract
Adverse cutaneous reactions to itraconazole are known to be quite rare. We report a case of maculopapular reaction
caused by itraconazole. On the 7th day of itraconazole therapy for hand onychomycosis, in a 39-year-old woman pruritus
occurred with a subsequent morbiliform, symmetric, maculopapular eruption on the upper torso, neck, trunk and pressure-
bearing areas. Eruption progressed, becoming confluent and spreading to extremities. Due to increasing indications
for the administration of itraconazole its increased usage as well as the possibility of allergic reactions should be expected
even if these are a rare event.
