description Drug-induced skin disorders cause very different clinical symptoms in the skin that sometimes mimic well-defined dermatologic diseases and cause confusion with them. The immediate elimination of the drug is essential to the management of these patients. It is reported the case of a drug-induced skin disorder secondary to the use of carbamazepine in a 29.3-week-pregnant woman who attended the Internal Medicine Consultation due to a maculopapular rash that was generalized to encompass 90% of the skin surface. The patient progressed satisfactorily after discontinuing the anticonvulsant treatment; dermatological symptoms disappeared.
