Lamotrigine-induced systemic lupus erythematosus: A diagnostic dilemma

Abstract

Many drugs are known to cause systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), however there are no well defined criteria for drug induced lupus erythematosus (DILE). We present a rare case of lamotrigine induced lupus presenting as acute syndrome of apoptotic pan epidermolysis (ASAP).
