RÉSUMÉ

Erythema multiforme is a skin disease, which occurs particularly in the acral region, and is characterized by target-like erythematous macules and papules. Infections play an important role in the etiology of erythema multiforme. Other causes include drugs, vaccination, and hematological malignancies. Half of all cases may not have an identifiable etiology. This article presents a male patient who developed erythema multiforme as a result of levetiracetam use for epilepsy.
