Abstract: | This paper describes a case of sparfloxacin-induced photodermatitis associated with photo-onycholysis in a 36-year-old man. He was being treated with sparfloxacin, streptomycin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide for pulmonary tuberculosis. He developed an exaggerated sunburn-like rash over the face and the dorsa of hands and feet, and painful onycholysis of finger- and toe-nails. Withdrawal of sparfloxacin resulted in resolution of the skin rash and nail tenderness. |
