title: The subcorneal pustular drug eruption: an example induced by norfloxacin.
abstract: In the patient described here, norfloxacin induced a generalized erythematous subcorneal pustular drug eruption associated with photosensitivity and fever, proven by challenge. Any pustular eruption with fever should engender a careful search for a drug that may have caused this reaction.
