Cutaneous acneiform eruptions are a side effect of many medications, including vitamin B12 therapy. However, reports of vitamin B12-induced acne are rare. We present a 67-year-old woman with a new diagnosis of pernicious anemia who developed a sudden acneiform eruption on the face after treatment with high-dose vitamin B12. Other medications that have been implicated in drug-induced acne include but are not limited to steroids, antibiotics, immunosuppressants, biologics, and vitamin B1 and B6. The pathogenesis is likely due to a transcriptome change in , the organism responsible for acne vulgaris. Cessation of the offending agent leads to a regression in symptoms.
皮肤痤疮样皮疹是许多药物的副作用,包括维生素B12治疗。然而,维生素B12诱发痤疮的报道很少。我们报告一名67岁新诊断为恶性贫血的女性,在接受高剂量维生素B12治疗后,面部突然出现痤疮样皮疹。其他与药物性痤疮有关的药物包括但不限于类固醇、抗生素、免疫抑制剂、生物制剂以及维生素B1和B6。其发病机制可能是由于寻常痤疮病原体的转录组变化。停用致病药物可使症状消退。
