Abstract

We report on a 73-years old male caucasian patient who while being on antibiotic therapy due to tuberculosis developed a maculopapular drug induced exanthema and subsequently a pellagroid erythema in sunexposed areas. Pyrazinamide is supposed to be causal for this phenomenon. After six days of strict photoprotection and after three days of avoidance of the drug skin lesions resolved almost completely without further specific treatment.
