- Abstract
We report a case of a 17-year-old male with precursor B acute lymphoblastic leukemia who presented with erythematous palpable rash over all extremities and trunk following initiation of linezolid for febrile neutropenia. This rash resolved on discontinuation of linezolid. We report this case with emphasis on review of the literature to highlight this unusual adverse effect and make clinicians aware and create a high index of suspicion in such a situation.
