Pediatr Transplant. 2002 Oct;6(5):435-8. doi: 10.1034/j.1399-3046.2002.02030.x.

Abstract

Post-transplant complications are common among patients receiving immunosuppressive medications, including pain syndromes. Recently, a pain syndrome, calcineurin-inhibitor induced pain syndrome (CIPS) has been described. To our knowledge, this article is the second report of tacrolimus-associated CIPS, and the first report in the pediatric setting.
