ABSTRACT
Multiple opioids are known to trigger mast cell degranulation. We report the case of a neonate with blistering skin lesions at birth who died of multi-organ failure after administration of morphine. Given the excessive histamine release and potential complications associated with morphine administration, alternative opioids and adjuvants should be considered in infants presenting with evidence of bullous or infiltrative skin lesions until mastocytosis is ruled out.
