title: Fixed drug eruption due to doxycycline and metronidazole.
abstract: Fixed drug eruption (FDE) can be caused by an assortment of drugs. Although cross-sensitivity to 2 chemically related drugs has been frequently described, FDE to 2 unrelated agents rarely has been reported. To our knowledge, we report the first such case due to doxycycline and metronidazole.
