ABSTRACT
Disulfiram is an FDA approved drug for the treatment of Alcohol dependence syndrome. It is a deterrent and produces unpleasant symptoms due to accumulation of acetaldehyde in the blood. Dermatological side effects with the drug are rare, but can be severe enough to warrant hospitalization. We present a case of exanthema induced by disulfiram in a patient with alcohol dependence syndrome and multiple comorbidities.
Keywords: Disulfiram, Exanthema, Intermediate Risk.
