Morbilliform skin rash is HIGH-YIELD for a drug reaction, the most severe being Drug reaction with eosinophilia and system symptoms (DRESS). It is associated with the use of allopurinol, anticonvulsants, antibiotics like TMP-SMX, and sulfa drugs. This is a potentially fatal delayed hypersensitivity reaction.
It is also related to a severe rash Stevens-Johnson syndrome or Toxic epidermal necrolysis which is also caused by anti-epileptic drugs (especially lamotrigine), allopurinol, sulfa drugs, and penicillin.
