Although pruritus is the most commonly recognized presenting symptom of Hodgkin's lymphoma, new onset of eczema should also be considered as a possible warning sign deserving further investigation. Patients with adult-onset pruritus or eczema should be evaluated for possible HD with full lymph-node exam, CBC with differential, and chest X-ray. Erythema nodosum and mycosis fungoides should also be considered as cutaneous manifestations of HD.

Voriconazole is a new triazole antifungal agent with activity against a wide range of systemic fungal pathogens, including Aspergillus spp. Photosensitivity is a rarely reported side effect of voriconazole, hypothesized to be a result of retinoid-like effects. We report two children with chronic granulomatous disease to whom voriconazole was administered for chronic invasive aspergillosis. Severe photosensitivity occurred in both patients, one of whom had striking photodamage at the 5-month follow-up.
