  • Title: [Photosensitivity following enoxacin and xipamide: combined phototoxic and photo-allergic reaction to enoxacin, photo-allergic reaction to xipamide with subsequent transient light reaction].
    Author: Schauder S.
    Journal: Z Hautkr; 1990 Mar; 65(3):253-62. PubMed ID: 2140222.
    Abstract:
    In a 51-year-old female patient, we observed a combined phototoxic and photoallergic reaction to Enoxacin, a photoallergic reaction to Xipamide, as well as increased sensitivity to light after withdrawal of the drugs. This unusual diagnosis was based on the clinical picture, graded radiation with UV-A and UV-B, the irradiated intradermal assay, and histological findings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on a photoallergic reaction to Xipamide associated with a combined phototoxic and photoallergic reaction to Enoxacin.
