[Pityriasis rosea-like eruption after anti-inflammatory and antipyretic medication].
We report 2 cases of a pityriasis rosea-like eruption after the use of the anti-inflammatory and antipyretic medications naproxen, acetaminophen, and a combination of acetylsalicylic acid and codeine phosphate. The role of these drugs in the induction of the eruption was supported by the results of macrophage migration inhibition factor and mast cell degranulation tests performed on the offending drugs.
