Prednisolone-Induced Acneiform Eruption with Facial Flushing in A Kidney Transplant Recipient: A Probable Adverse Drug Reaction

Key takeaways

A kidney transplant patient developed an acne-like rash and facial flushing after taking prednisolone, a steroid used to stop the body rejecting the new kidney. This is a report on one person, so it cannot say how often this happens or that the drug was definitely the cause. It was posted to a public repository and has not passed peer review.
