Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome associated with minocycline prescribed for acne treatment. Case report
Las reacciones adversas a medicamentos o drogas (RAM) son inesperadas y suponen un desafío diagnóstico importante para cualquier médico. Algunas RAM ocurren instantáneamente posterior a la exposición a un fármaco, sin embargo, otras, como en este caso, ocurren muchas semanas después de iniciar tratamiento. Presentamos el caso de un síndrome de hipersensibilidad inducida por drogas posterior a la exposición del paciente a minociclina en contexto de tratamiento de acné. Adverse drug reactions (ADR) are unexpected, unpleasant, and comprise a diagnostic challenge for any physician. Some ADRs occur instantly after being exposed to a certain medication, but others, as described in this case, can present weeks after treatment is started. We present a case of severe drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome after exposure to minocycline prescribed for acne treatment.
