RESUMO
Fluconazole uncommonly causes Stevens-Johnson syndrome. A young Indian man who developed this adverse effect after his second dose of fluconazole is described. The characteristics of previously reported individuals with fluconazole-associated Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis are also summarized: three out of five of the patients were immunocompromised, five out of five were hospitalized, and all had complete resolution of this drug-induced condition.

The role of the nervous system in the pathogenesis of psoriasis is not well elucidated. However, its involvement is clinically apparent with sparing of areas affected by neurologic disease, such as poliomyelitis, and remission of psoriasis in cases of nerve damage. Several neuropeptides, including substance P (SP), nerve growth factor, calcitonin gene-related peptide, and vasoactive intestinal peptide have been hypothesized to play a part in the development of psoriasis and its symptoms. We report a case of a patient with psoriasis who experienced complete remission following ischemic stroke.
