Scarlatiniform rash and urticaria were observed twice in the same patient following codeine intake. This rare drug-induced eruption may lead to mis-diagnosis in patients taking mild analgesics containing codeine. The side effects of codeine, hypersensitivity mechanisms, and the use of analgesic combination products are discussed.
