Article Synopsis
- - Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is characterized by repeated dusky-red to brownish skin patches that appear at the same sites after a patient takes a specific drug again, commonly triggered by antibiotics, anticonvulsants, or analgesics, with very few cases linked to metformin.
- - A case study highlights an 86-year-old man who developed a generalized itchy macular rash with reddish to violaceous patches after taking metformin, showing notable histopathological features such as vacuolar degeneration and necrotic skin cells.
- - This case is significant as it presents the first report of cutaneous hemophagocytosis related to metformin-induced generalized FDE, although the hemophagocytosis observed had
This work investigates the possibilities of high-resolution continuum source graphite furnace molecular absorption spectrometry for the direct determination of Cl in solid samples via the CaCl molecule and measurement of its molecular absorption. The method proposed is based on addition of 400µg Ca as molecule-forming reagent and of 20µgPd as chemical modifier, which helps to stabilize the analyte and enhances sensitivity. The molecular spectrum for CaCl offers different lines with different limits of detection and linear ranges, which permitted to analyze solid samples with different Cl contents.
