A 66-year-old man was diagnosed with psoriasis in 2001 and treated accordingly; in 2007, the diagnosis was switched to atopic dermatitis and the therapy modified. Initially he improved with fumarates and methotrexate, but then experienced recurrent exacerbations with erythroderma and severe superinfection requiring hospitalization. Based on the modified clinical picture with striking accentuation on the head and back of the hands, we diagnosed chronic actinic dermatitis.

Anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome (AHS) is a rare, severe drug hypersensitivity reaction included in the drug-related rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms syndrome (DRESS), in which a transient state of immune suppression and reactivation of latent virus infections have been observed. We describe 5 patients who developed neosensitization to different drugs taken during a previous episode of anticonvulsant-related DRESS, in whom skin prick, intradermal and/or patch tests were performed to confirm the diagnosis of drug hypersensitivity. In 1 patient, transient hypogammaglobulinemia was observed during the AHS.

All medications except insulin were stopped, without major improvement. It was noted that the insulin contained m-cresol (m-methyl phenol) so a parabens-based insulin was substituted.
