- Abstract
The onset of lupus erythematosus has been associated with many medications including procainamide, hydralazine, isoniazid, quinidine, alpha-methyldopa, chlorpromazine, and hydrochlorothiazide. A study of insecticide permethrin exposure in lesser-developed countries showed that it may cause itching and burning of the face and other exposed areas. Permethrin dermatitis was described as early as 1921. In Europe, the use of permethrin compounds has also been associated with paresthesias, pathologic laughter, thrombocytopenic purpura and acute myeloblastic leukemia.
