title: Levetiracetam induced psoriasiform drug eruption: a rare case report.
abstract: Levetiracetam (LEV) is an established second generation anti-epileptic drug and LEV associated severe cutaneous reactions are rare. Here we report the case of psoriasiform drug eruption in a patient with newly diagnosed epilepsy who had been treated with levetiracetam. To our knowledge this is the first report of a patient with a psoriasiform eruption that appeared after the administration of LEV.
