Baboon syndrome is a rarely seen type of systemic contact dermatitis and characterized by erythema of the gluteal and genital area and in the flexural areas. Baboon syndrome occurs after ingestion or systemic absorption of contact allergen in individuals previously sensitized by topical exposure to the same allergen. However, this eruption may occur with drugs taken systemically without previous sensitization. It is also an uncommon condition in children. We report a 9-year-old patient with Baboon syndrome induced by amoxycillin without known previous sensitization.
