ABSTRACT
Low-molecular-weight heparins are used extensively in acute medicine. They are generally well tolerated but may cause a rare, eczema-like type IV hypersensitivity reaction. We report 3 cases of this eruption and speculate that it may be significantly under-reported due to misidentifying the causal drug, which may have serious consequences. We discuss treatment alternatives such as fondaparinux sodium, which may rarely cross-react.
