title: Tacrolimus-induced pain syndrome in a pediatric orthotopic liver transplant patient.
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.
