    The number of patients with type 2 diabetes using dipeptidylpeptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors is increasing across the world.Although this class of antidiabetic medications is generallysafe and associated with less side effects compared to otheroral antidiabetic medications, they could also cause some sideeffects such as skin rashes. Herein we report a case of type 2diabetes patient who developed a painful maculopapular rashinduced by linagliptin, a widely used DPP-4 inhibitor.A localized painful maculopapular rash developed on thepalmar faces of the patient’s hands almost 1 day after theinitiation of the drug. The patient was using intensive insulintherapy before linagliptin was started. There was no eruptionon the other body parts except the palmar faces of the hands.Following the discontinuation of the drug, the rash disappearedin about four days. The patient had no history of urticaria anddid not use an ACE inhibitor. As far as we know, this is the firstcase report of a skin rash induced by linagliptin in the Turkishliterature. This case report highlights a rare and lesser knownside effect of linagliptin, a new member of DPP-4 inhibitors.
