Abstract

The association of adverse cutaneous effects with administration of the tricyclic antidepressant drug desipramine was systematically reviewed in a clinic population of 205 child psychiatry outpatients over a 3-year period. Transient maculopapular rashes developed in 12 children and adolescents treated with desipramine. The rashes had a benign course, disappearing completely in 2 to 7 days, and were not associated with clinical or chemical hepatitis or any other physical symptoms.
