Propofol Induced Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus: A Case Report
Joseph A. Schoenfeldt, Michael A. Howard, Deeba Masood, Daniel S. Cormican- General Medicine
We report a case of a woman who experienced unexplained recurrent rashes of varying severity after multiple exposures to anesthesia, and then 2 successful surgeries under general anesthesia with no resultant rashes after removing propofol from her anesthetic plans. We infer her previous postanesthetic rashes were likely associated with drug-induced subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (DI-SCLE) triggered by propofol.
