Erythema multiforme is a relatively common skin disorder; the most common cause is herpes simplex infection, but topical sensitivities reportedly also provoke this reaction. We report here a case that progressed to toxic epidermal necrolysis due to contact with ultraviolet (UV)-cured inks. The diagnosis was confirmed by patch tests to acrylates in the UV-cured inks, histopathological studies of the lesions, and positive patch test to 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate.Downloads
