[Atenolol-induced psoriasiform dermatitis].
We report the case of a patient who presented a psoriasiform dermatitis after 8 months of atenolol therapy. Regression of the lesions was obtained after suspension of therapy. To our knowledge, few reports of psoriasiform dermatitis induced by atenolol are present in the literature. The Authors briefly discuss the pathogenesis of this drug induced disease.
