SULFASALAZINE INDUCED SKIN RASH- UNCOMMON BUT MERITS CAUTION

Sulfasalazine, a commonly used medication in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, is associated with various adverse effects, including rash. Here, we present a case of a 22-year-old male with ulcerative colitis who developed a generalized skin rash following the initiation of sulfasalazine therapy but there were no systemic symptoms or eosinophilia. The rash resolved promptly upon discontinuation of sulfasalazine, highlighting the importance of recognizing and managing medication-induced adverse reactions in the management of inflammatory bowel disease.
