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 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 کاملOnycholysis and Chromonychia: A Case Caused by Trichosporon inkin.
Yeasts cause only 5-10% of onychomycosis; the most common yeast is Candida albicans, and rarely Trichosporon spp. is found. Recently, it has become an important cause of fungemia with a high mortality rate in immunocompromised patients. Superficial infections caused by Trichosporon spp., including piedra and onychomycosis, occur in immunocompetent patients. Herein, we report a case of a fungal ...
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 کاملNeuroprotection by tetracyclines.
The neuroprotective properties of tetracyclines have been clearly established in rodent models of acute and chronic neurodegeneration during the past few years. Recent findings have provided novel insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms of protection of neurons and oligodendrocytes by tetracyclines. These advances have prompted several clinical trials with minocycline, the most effe...
