Abstract:

A case of photosensitivity induced by fleroxacin (FLRX) is reported. A 71-year-old man had erythema on sun-exposed areas after 5 months FLRX treatment for prostatitis. The minimal erythema dose to UVA was reduced at the initial examination and became normal 4 weeks after he stopped taking FLRX. Oral photo-challenge with FLRX 100 mg was positive, but photopatch testing was negative.
