Lichenoid eruption produced by captopril.
Abstract
Captopril, an oral active dipeptidylcarboxypeptidase inhibitor with antihypertensive properties, has been reported to have the following cutaneous side effects: macular and papular skin eruptions, urticaria, angioedema, mouth ulcers, pemphigus, and pityriasis rosea-like eruptions. Here, to the best of our knowledge, is the first case in which a pityriasis rosea-like eruption evolved into a lichenoid drug eruption. Also discussed is the remarkable similarity in the side effects of captopril, gold compounds, d-penicillamine, and organic mercurials.
