We report 5 cases of cutaneous CD30+ lymphomatoid drug reactions that occurred shortly after the onset of drug exposure and resolved promptly upon withdrawal of the offending agents. The cases showed protean dermatologic manifestations ranging from diffuse erythema with desquamation to macules, papules, and annular plaques. The suspect drugs were amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker) for 2 cases, sertraline (a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) for 1 case, gabapentin for 1 case, and levofloxacin (a fluoroquinolone) versus cefepime (a fourth generation cephalosporin), and metoprolol (a beta blocker), in the fifth case.
