Abstract
Prostaglandin E-1 is commonly used in the management of cyanotic congenital heart disease. While cutaneous flushing and peripheral edema are well reco gnized side effects of prostaglandin E-1 therapy, other cutaneous effects h ave not been described in the dermatologic literature. We report a neonate with transposition of the great vessels who developed urticaria during trea tment with prostaglandin E-1.
