    Abstract:
    Minocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic commonly used in the treatment of acne. While it is generally considered to be a safe medicine, a number of side effects have been associated with its use. We describe an adolescent boy who developed hyperthyroidism and a drug-induced lupus-like syndrome following minocycline treatment for his acne.
