Photo-onycholysis: two cases induced by doxycycline.
Photo-onycholysis is a phototoxic reaction, which is usually drug-induced. It consists of the separation of the nail from the nail bed due to ultraviolet radiation. We report two cases of female patients who developed distal onycholysis while receiving doxycycline. Among the drugs that cause photo-onycholysis, the most frequently cited are tetracyclines, psoralens and fluoroquinolones. Photo-on...
متن کاملPhoto-onycholysis associated with the use of doxycycline.
The Netherlands Pharmacovigilance Centre Lareb received five reports concerning photo-onycholysis associated with the use of doxycycline (table). All five patients used 200 mg of doxycycline a day for the prophylactic treatment of Lyme disease after tick bite. In all cases the affected nails had been exposed to the sun during the summer. All patients showed (partial) recovery after several mont...
متن کاملDiclofenac-Induced Photo-Onycholysis.
Onycholysis is the detachment of the nail plate from the nail bed. If drug-induced, it can be an isolated phenomenon, but it may also accompany or follow a cutaneous phototoxicity reaction due to drug intake and exposure to ultraviolet irradiation. Photo-onycholysis is a rare photosensitivity reaction due to exposure to either a natural or artificial source of light. Many drugs are responsible ...
متن کاملPhototoxic and Photoallergic Reactions
Phototoxicity and photoallergy are different expressions of an abnormal skin reaction from the exposure to light, usually enhanced by endogenous or exogenous substances that are selectively activated by solar radiation. This can occur with artificial light sources (sun lumps used for aesthetic or therapeutic purposes or ultraviolet (UV) sources in occupational settings), but mostly occur on sun...
متن کاملPhototoxic and photoallergic skin reactions.
Indirect action of sun together with different exogenous agents (systemic medications and topically applied compounds) sometimes may result in phototoxicic and photoallergic reactions. Drug-induced photosensitivity reactions refer to the development of cutaneous disease as a result of the combined effects of a drug and light (mostly spectrum within the UVA and visible light range or UVB range)....
