title: [Pityriasis rosea-like skin eruptions caused by captopril].
abstract: Captopril is an antihypertensive drug that works by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme and provokes increased levels of plasma quinine. In the case here reported a picture of pityriasis rosea-like reaction is described. The frequency of the observed and reported reactions by captopril suggests a particular caution in the use of this drug.
