- Title
(29) Cutaneous Reactions Database--Committee on Safety of Medicines Joint Collaborative Project.

- Abstract
This article reports that cutaneous reactions to drugs are poorly reported by non dermatologists. Therefore, a specialist based system is necessary to obtain a true picture of their type and incidence. Skin reactions often provide warning of more toxic side effects of a new drug. Unexpected beneficial cutaneous effects of drugs can be reported and the information disseminated. Funds have been obtained to create such a database for a trial period of 2 years. It will be a collaborative project with the Committee on Safety of Medicines. Consultants, senior registrars and clinical assistants in dermatology in the British Isles will be issued with special reporting forms which can be mailed to the Cutaneous Reactions Database, sited at the Institute of Dermatology, St. Thomas' Hospital.
