We report here a case of multiple FDE induced by atenolol in a 48-year-old woman confirmed by positive patch test in previously affected sites. Beta-blockers-induced FDE are very rare. Only two cases had been reported in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported of atenolol-induced FDE confirmed by a positive patch test.Keywords: fixed drug eruption, patch test, atenolol, beta-blockers http://www.dovepress.com/fixed-drug-eruption-induced-by-atenolol-a3069
