ABSTRACT
We report a case of doxycycline-induced phototoxicity in a 62-years-old male. The patient, had erythematous macules and patches on sun-exposed areas. A Phototest revealed a marked decreased minimal erythemai. dose (MED) to UVA (MED(UNA)=-10J/cm2). Photopatch tests with 1%, 5% Doxycycline ointment were negative. An oral provocation test was performed, which showed a positive result with a decrease of MED to UVA (MED(UVA)= 20J/cm2). After the cessation of doxycycline, his skin lesioris were improved markedly with complete loss of photosensitivity.
