Summary: | Fixed drug eruption is one of the possible clinical presentations of cutaneous reactions to drugs; however, it is not very common in children. Characteristically, it is always localized a the same sites, a fact that can help to establish the diagnosis, but this circumstance is of no help for the early diagnosis.

We describe the clinical features of four cases produced by three different drugs (co-trimoxazole, phenobarbital, paracetamol) and the actions involved in the differential diagnosis. |
