Drug-induced erythema nodosum – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/420389444

Erythema nodosum triggered by medication. Many drugs have been implicated but if these have been given for treating an infection it may be difficult to determine whether the infection or the drug is responsible for the reaction. recognised triggers, however, include high dose oestrogen-containing oral contraceptive preparations, sulfonamides and bromides.
