Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs) are probably the most frequent of all manifestations of drug sensitivity. As a considerable number of new drugs are periodically introduced into the market, the incidence of CADR is likely to increase. The pattern of CADR and the causative drugs is likely to change accordingly. There is no uniformly accepted and reliable method of objectively assessing the causal link between drug and adverse reaction.
