Fixed drug eruption occurs in 14-22% cases of delayed-type drug allergy skin lesions. The most common triggers of fixed drug eruption are fluconazole, barbiturates, NSAIDs (more often coxibs), metamizole sodium, and antibacterial sulfonamides. Antihistamines are not typical representatives of drugs that cause drug allergies, including fixed drug erythema. However, it is important to remember that antihistamines can also be a cause of drug allergy.</p> <p>The article presents a clinical case of a patient who experienced repeated fixed drug eruption reactions. Basic information about this type of drug allergy is described in detail. During the diagnostic process, patch tests and a provocation oral test with drugs had been performed, which is the gold standard for this type of diagnosis. Based on the test results, the diagnosis of fixed drug eruption to cetirizine was confirmed.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Реакции лекарственной гиперчувствительности являются одной из самых сложных и трудно диагностируемых проблем в современной практике врача аллерголога-иммунолога. Фиксированная лекарственная эритема встречается в 14-22% случаев поражений кожи при лекарственной аллергии замедленного типа. Наиболее частыми триггерами фиксированной лекарственной эритемы являются флуконазол, барбитураты, НПВП (чаще коксибы), метамизол натрия, антибактериальные сульфаниламиды. Антигистаминные препараты не относятся к типичным представителям лекарственных препаратов, вызывающих лекарственную аллергию, в том числе фиксированную лекарственную эритему. Однако, не следует забывать, что и антигистаминные препараты способны быть причиной лекарственной аллергии.</p> <p>В статье представлен клинический случай пациентки, у которой отмечались неоднократные реакции в виде фиксированной лекарственной эритемы. Подробно описаны основные сведения о данном типе лекарственной аллергии. В процессе постановки диагноза проведено тестирование с лекарственными препаратами: местный провокационный аппликационный тест и провокационный пероральный тест. По результатам тестирования подтвержден диагноз фиксированной лекарственной эритемы на цетиризин.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>drug allergy</kwd><kwd>fixed drug eruption</kwd><kwd>cetirizine</kwd><kwd>drug provocation test</kwd><kwd>case report.</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>лекарственная аллергия</kwd><kwd>фиксированная лекарственная эритема</kwd><kwd>цетиризин</kwd><kwd>провокационное тестирование, клинический случай.</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">1.
