BACKGROUND: Minocycline is a commonly prescribed drug for the treatment of acne. Its use is generally not associated with systemic side effects.
OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of minocycline-induced drug hypersensitivity syndrome in a 20-year-old Japanese woman.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Following 2 months of minocycline treatment, the patient developed skin lesions composed of exudative maculopapules, purpuratous macules, and target-like, erythema multiforme-like plaques over most of her body. In addition, she had fever, abnormal liver function tests, eosinophilia, and atypical lymphocytosis. Laboratory tests indicated no elevation of antibody titers against cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, and human herpesvirus 6. Her ongoing exposure to minocycline was stopped, and treatment with oral prednisolone was begun. Her signs, symptoms, and laboratory abnormalities then began to resolve. Subsequently, the syndrome was observed to return briefly in response to an oral challenge with minocycline.
CONCLUSIONS: Minocycline is able to elicit a drug hypersensitivity syndrome that can resemble infectious mononucleosis. This drug reaction can be treated effectively by cessation of exposure to this drug and steroid therapy.
