Generalized cutaneous depigmentation following sulfamide-induced drug eruption.

A 41-year-old male developed a generalized drug eruption following sulfamide therapy, with progressive albino-like generalized cutaneous depigmentation. Electron microscopy showed the absence of melanocytes, and clear cells with Langerhans cell characteristics were seen along the basal layer. The present case constitutes a unique reaction to sulfamides not previously reported in the literature.
