“…Ciprofloxacin, a quinolone antibiotic, is commonly used in the treatment of CF infections. Photosensitivity may occur with direct sunlight exposure in up to 52% of patients (54), as well as with indoor fluorescent light (spectral range 295–760 nm) which emits UVA (320–400 nm) (52,54,55). Rates of reaction to sulfonamides, tetracylines, and macrolides are unknown (52).…”

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease reported in 1 in 2500 live births in Northern American and Northern European Caucasian populations. Classic disease findings include chronic bacterial infection of airways and sinuses, malabsorption of fat, infertility in men, and elevated concentrations of chloride in sweat. Less well-recognized findings associated with cystic fibrosis include cutaneous findings, which can be primary or secondary manifestations of the disease process. Patients demonstrate more atopic and drug hypersensitivity reactions than the general population, but have similar rates of urticaria compared with the general population. In atypical presentations of cystic fibrosis, the nutrient deficiency dermatitis of the disease may aid with diagnosis, and notably can be the presenting sign. Other dermatologic manifestations of cystic fibrosis include early aquagenic skin wrinkling and cutaneous vasculitis, which can be associated with arthralgias. Familiarity with the nutrient deficiency dermatitis of this entity may play a role in the timely diagnosis of the disease, and the other cutaneous findings add to our understanding of the protean nature of its manifestations.

“…Three patients reacted with photosensitivity to ciprofloxacine (14,15). Ethambutol gave neurological side effects in a 36-y-old patient who later developed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), possibly related to previous rifabutin treatment (16) (patient no.…”
