Abstract
Antibiotic-induced skin eruption occurring in cases of infectious mononucleosis (IM) is often encountered in clinical practice. Ampicillin, azithromycin, and amoxicillin were the most common reported drugs. Similar phenomena have also been observed with other antibiotics. Here we reported a case of Cefamandole-induced rash in a child with IM. The patient developed a severe Erythroderma rash while receiving Cefamandole injection, which was similar to the rash seen with amoxicillin treatment of patients with IM. The mechanism why the rash eruptions develop is not fully elucidated, although some common theories are proposed. This case told pediatrician that we should avoid antibiotics use during only infectious mononucleosis.
