Urticaria commonly known as hives is an erythematous, raised, usually itchy skin eruption. This condition can be occasioned by several factors, and one of the causes is the use of medicines. Hypersensitivity reactions to ofloxacin have been reported and one of them is urticaria and it is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. The following is a clinical case of an acute urticaria in a 10 years female who developed itchy rash with generalized distribution with a history of fever, diarrhoea, and vomiting. This case emphasizes the need to identify Ofloxacin-induced urticaria and avoiding the agent that caused the reaction to avoid worsening of symptoms.
