[Clinical analysis on 162 cases of drug eruption induced by Chinese patent medicine].
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the pathogenesis and characteristics of drug eruption induced by Chinese patent medicine for providing some referential materials on prevention and treatment of drug eruption.


METHODS
Clinical data of 162 patients suffered from drug eruption were analyzed retrospectively.


RESULTS
Most the drug eruption (161 times/case, accounting for 99.4%) belonged to the mild type; injection was the dominating dosage-form for inducing drug eruptions (87 times/case, 53.7%); most of the cases occurred when drugs were used in combination (106 times/case, 65.4%); and few of the patients (14 times/case, 8.6%) had drug eruption for the first time.


CONCLUSIONS
Prevention of drug eruption could be realized by way of learning more relevant knowledge, cautiousl accepting the Chinese herbal injection, avoiding drug combination, as well as inquiry for the history of drug application of patients in detail.
