Abstract:
Drug-induced photodistributed telangiectasia (PT) is a cutaneous adverse effect (AE) resulting from the interaction of ultraviolet radiation with pharmacotherapy. Reports of PT in the literature are scarce. We report 25 cases of drug-induced PT highlighting the potential relationship between the onset of skin lesions, drug intake and photo exposure. We alert practitioners that PT is a possible dermatological phototoxic AE of many drugs.
