Lichenoid skin reaction in a patient on anti-tubercular drugs: A rare case report

Abstract

First line anti-tubercular drugs are known to cause various adverse drug reactions including cutaneous reactions. We report a rare case of anti-tubercular treatment (ATT) induced lichenoid skin reaction in a 58 years old female with no prior history of rashes. She was put on fixed dose combination (FDC) tablets of first line anti-tuberculosis drugs and developed reaction one month after initiation of therapy.
