We report on a 76-year-old male patient who developed a maculopapular generalised exanthema due to terbinafine. Prick test was negative; patch test revealed a positive reaction after 48 h confirming the delayed-type allergic reaction. Non-pustular exanthema has only rarely been reported for terbinafine.
