Has anyone ever had an allergic reaction to TPN? I started it last Tuesday and started getting a rash on my forearms Thursday. Now it's my arms, neck, face/head. It's getting very itchy. I thought it was from Nystatin I was taking for thrush, but I haven't had it for 24 hours and the rash is worse.

My daughter had that reaction on her second week of TPN.. They put in a PICC line and the rash went away. Are you getting TPN via IV or PICC?
Dietitian made the right move. I hope it continues to get better. The reactions my kid has had took a few days and they were with IV, not PICC. I would be very worried too if it was a reaction while on a PICC
