Drug induced exanthema and resolution in treatment of Bipolar I Disorder with Lamotrigine and Aripiprazole.

Abstract

Two patients with dense erythematous non-blanching rash of rapid spread are discussed here with implications for management. In each case, the rash appeared after co-administration of Aripiprazole with Lamotrigine and the reason for appearance of the rash remains unclear. In Case 1, the rash resolved despite continuation of Lamotrigine and stopping Aripiprazole. In Case 2, the rash resolved despite continuing Aripiprazole and stopping Lamotrigine.
