A severe case of mango dermatitis

Abstract

A 27-year-old Japanese woman visited our hospital with eruptions on the lips, which had appeared two days after she took acetaminophen. At day 15, her lips were severely swollen with erosions, most of which were covered with dense crusts (Figure 1). Clinically, Stevens–Johnson syndrome due to acetaminophen was suspected. However, the drug-induced lymphocyte stimulation test for the reagent was negative (stimulation index: 156%; normal: < 179%), and the eruption did not recur after she resumed acetaminophen.
