  • Title: Bullous mastocytosis in an infant associated with the use of a nonprescription cough suppressant.
    Author: Cook J, Stith M, Sahn EE.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 1996; 13(5):410-4. PubMed ID: 8893244.
    Abstract:
    Bullous mastocytosis is an unusual expression of mastocytosis typically seen in young children, and many causes of the acute mast cell degranulation with bulla formation have been identified. We report a 6-month-old boy with urticaria pigmentosa and an extensive bullous eruption associated with the ingestion of a nonprescription cough suppressant containing dextromethorphan. The pathogenesis of mastocytosis and the care of patients with this disease are discussed.
