Immunobullous dermatosis classified elsewhere precipitated by drug – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1729787450

Certain drugs may precipitate immunobullous diseases. The most commonly provoked diseases are pemphigus foliaceus, bullous pemphigoid and mucous membrane pemphigoid. Drug-induced linear IgA bullous dermatosis and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita have also been reported. The majority of reactions are to drugs with or whose metabolites contain a thiol group. Examples include penicillamine and captopril.
