Abstract
Fixed drug eruption is a recurrent rare-onset children disease. The etiology seems to be exclusively due to drug intake. However, several cases of food origin have been reported in the literature. We report an observation of a six-year-old girl had presented with typical bullous fixed drug eruption recurrent at the genital, with no concept of drug intake. Detailed interview with the parents describing the chronology of the appearance of skin lesion 24 hours after the consumption of farm eggs, in all episodes, evoking the possibility of the occurrence of the lesions following the ingestion of eggs of hen. However, the traceability of the egg was not possible. We interviewed poultry farmers who confirmed that they were administering drugs to chickens including sulfonamides, especially sulfadiazine.
