Methods We report a case of drug rash induced by levothyroxine and currently oral desensitization. A 31 year-old woman had been diagnosed as Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. She was having levothyroxine for 9 years when she begun to present bilateral eyelids maculopapular rash. Blood exams and physical examination were normal except for the eyelids rash. As she stopped using levothyroxine, the rash has disappeared. Her endocrinologist prescribed her other brands of levothyroxine, and the patient reported the same reaction.

Levothyroxine can cause drug rash in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and oral desensitization can help resolve the rash.
