title: Cutaneous adverse reactions following the administration of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and antibiotics: an Italian survey.
abstract: The Italian Group for Epidemiological Research in Dermatology (GISED) collected a series of cutaneous adverse reactions following NSAID and/or antibiotics administered by topical and/or systemic route. Dermatologists from North and Central Italy took part in this survey by filling in 1457 case report forms during a four-month observation time in 1988-89. The main purpose of our epidemiological study aimed at evaluating a post-marketing surveillance program by examining spontaneous reports of cutaneous adverse reactions. This result seems to be noteworthy, considering the difficulties encountered in Italy to develop such a program.
