Abstract
We evaluated the clinical characteristics of sirolimus-induced acne in 80 recipients of renal transplantation. It developed in 36 of 48 (75%) men and 2 of 32 (6%) women. Lesion locations and clinical, bacteriologic, and histologic features differentiated sirolimus-induced acne from acne vulgaris, but therapeutic management was similar. The main limitation for this study was the absence of a control group without sirolimus. Epidermal growth factor inhibition by sirolimus is a plausible explanation for this acne.Entities:
