  • Title: Photo-onycholysis caused by an unusual beach game activity: a pediatric case of a side effect caused by doxycycline.
    Author: Pazzaglia M, Venturi M, Tosti A.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2014; 31(1):e26-7. PubMed ID: 24015834.
    Abstract:
    Photo-onycholysis caused by doxycycline has rarely been reported in children. We present the case of a boy who loved to play pinball while at the beach, holding tightly to the machine. He developed a photo-onycholysis predominantly on his thumbs while he was being treated with 20 mg/day of doxycycline, a low dose but enough to trigger the photoreaction.
