title: [Drug-induced exanthemas].
abstract: This article briefly reviews potential mucocutaneous adverse reactions to medicaments, with special attention to the commonest used drugs in Denmark. More than 70 different adverse events are associated with the intake of various drugs, which means that, irrespective of the presentation and morphology of the exanthema, a drug-induced eruption should always be considered a possibility.
