A patient with drug-induced toxic pustuloderma is presented. The patient, who was asthmatic and who was being treated with ofloxacin for bronchitis and pharyngitis, developed intense erythemas followed by subcorneal pustulation associated with fever and a neutrophil leukocytosis. The diagnosis was confirmed by oral readministration of ofloxacin, with the result that pustular eruptions were induced. This form of drug eruption had not previously been attributed to ofloxacin.
