Case study: betnesol induced red colored rash all over body

32 years old patient presented with Fever and Red colored rash all over the body due to the over dosage of Inj. Betnesol. A rash was erythematous.Pruritic and maculopapular, while generalized pitting edema was noted in the face, legs and hands. A thorough examination ruled out systemic infection and suggested a drug induced hypersensitivity reaction, with possible angioedema The differential diagnosis included viral exanthem and autoimmune disorders. Investigations were conducted to assess the extent of reaction, including Blood test, Renal and Liver function tests and a potential skin biopsy. Management focused on discontinuing InBetnesol, symptomatic treatment with corticosteroid and close monitoring for progression.The patient’s prognosis was favorable upon discontinuation of the drug with most symptoms resolving in a few weeks.Patient education included avoiding are exposure to Inj.Betnesol and scheduling follow-up appointments to me monitor symptoms resolution. This case highlights the importance of recognizing drug induced reactions, particularly with commonly prescribed medication like Betnesol, and providing timely management to prevent complications.

Abstract

32 years old patient presented with Fever and Red colored rash all over the body due to the over dosage of Inj. Betnesol. A rash was erythematous.Pruritic and maculopapular, while generalized pitting edema was noted in the face, legs and hands. A thorough examination ruled out systemic infection and suggested a drug induced hypersensitivity reaction, with possible angioedema The differential diagnosis included viral exanthem and autoimmune disorders. Investigations were conducted to assess the extent of reaction, including Blood test, Renal and Liver function tests and a potential skin biopsy. Management focused on discontinuing InBetnesol, symptomatic treatment with corticosteroid and close monitoring for progression.The patient’s prognosis was favorable upon discontinuation of the drug with most symptoms resolving in a few weeks.Patient education included avoiding are exposure to Inj.Betnesol and scheduling follow-up appointments to me monitor symptoms resolution. This case highlights the importance of recognizing drug induced reactions, particularly with commonly prescribed medication like Betnesol, and providing timely management to prevent complications.
