Lamotrigine is an effective antiepileptic drug used as an add-on and monotherapy for a variety of seizure types in both adults and children. Rashes due to AED including SJS and hypersensitivity syndrome leading to hospitalization occur in approximately 0.33% of adults and 0.8% in children. Reactions due to LTG alone occur in around 5.7% of cases. We report probably the first case of this reaction in a 12-year old girl with a brief discussion on its etiology and management.</p> <p><em>J Nepal Paediatr Soc </em>2012;32(2):172-174</p> <p>doi: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v32i2.5608">http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v32i2.5608</a> <em></em></p> ER -
