| Abstract | Patients experiencing atrial fibrillation are at an increased risk for thromboembolic events. Therefore, anticoagulation therapy is imperative to prevent thrombus formation and stroke. Dabigatran etexilate was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2010 as anticoagulant prophylaxis for patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. The frequency of dermatologic reactions to dabigatran etexilate is estimated in the product labeling to be less than 0.1%. To date, five cases of dabigatran etexilate-associated rash have reported, including three published cases. We describe the sixth reported case of dabigatran etexilate-associated rash, in a 59-year-old man with a history of atrial fibrillation who received dabigatran etexilate 150 mg twice/day for atrial flutter before cardioversion. The patient had taken dabigatran etexilate for 5 days before the rash was noted on hospital admission. He had no known previous drug allergies, and his platelet count, serum creatinine concentration, and hepatic function were normal. The rash resolved 7 days after the discontinuation of dabigatran etexilate, and the patient was stabilized on warfarin therapy. Use of the Naranjo Adverse Drug Reaction Probability Scale indicated a probable relationship (score of 5) between the patient's development of the rash and dabigatran etexilate therapy. Clinicians should be aware of this adverse effect of dabigatran etexilate and monitor for dermatologic reactions during follow-up visits. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
