Table 7 Common culprit drugs for eczematous reactions (Joly et al. 2007; Summers et al. 2013; Thyssen and Maibach 2008)
8-Methoxypsoralen Alpha-blockers 5-Aminosalicylic acid Aminophylline Analgesics: non-steroidal anti-inammatory drugs, opiates, paracetamol Antibiotics: amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, erythromycin, fusidic acid, gentamicin, isoniazid, miconazole, neomycin, nystatin, quinolones, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, terbinane Antihistamines: cetirizine, diphenhydramine, hydroxyzine Antihypertensives: alprenolol, captopril, telmisartan, hydrochlorothiazide Anti-inammatories: acetyl salicylic acid, 5-aminosalicylic acid, corticosteroids, cyclo­oxygenase- 2 inhibitors Antivirals: aciclovir, valaciclovir Biological agents: cetuximab Calcium-channel blockers Chemotherapy agents: 5-uorouracil, mitomycin C Clobazam Clonidine Doxepin Ephedrine Glyceryl trinitrate Heparin Hydroxycarbamide Intravenous human immunoglobulins Iodinated radiocontrast media Oestradiol Phenobarbital Phenothiazines Pseudoephedrine Rivastigmine Sulphonamides Suxamethonium
atous reactions on exposure to tolbutamide or chlorpropamide. However, in many cases of suspected drug- induced eczematous reactions, prior sensitization to the index drug or cross­reacting compounds cannot be found. In cases related to calcium channel blockers, nifedipine in its photodegraded form has been shown to stimulate iron uptake and retention in human epidermal keratinocytes (Gruen et al. 2001).
This may induce keratinocyte apoptosis and spongiosis, resulting in the histological ndings of spongiosis and keratinocyte necrosis seen in such patients, and accounting for the long delay in recovery following drug withdrawal (Trautmann etal. 2001).
The latency from time of drug initiation to onset of eczematous eruption is typically 1–2weeks. It is usually a symmetrical eruption which may initially/most severely involve the sites of original dermatitis prior to subsequently becoming generalized.
The differential diagnosis of drug-induced eczematous reactions include allergic contact dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis and idio­pathic eczematous reactions. Patch testing may be positive; however, conrmatory diagnosis may require oral challenge, and response to de­challenge. Resolution of clinical symptoms within 1–3weeks of drug withdrawal.
Withdrawal of the culprit drug, with the use of topical corticosteroids if necessary. Severe reac­tions may require treatment with systemic corticosteroids.
6 Drug-Induced Acneiform
Eruptions (Drug-Induced Acne)
Drug-induced acneiform eruptions refer to inammatory follicular reactions resembling acne vulgaris, induced by a medication. Acneiform eruptions constitute 1% of all drug­induced skin reactions (Valeyrie-Allanore et al.
2007).
Acneiform reactions are not hypersensitivity reactions. The specic pathological mechanisms vary according to the implicated drug. The patho­physiology of acne vulgaris involves the use of toll-like receptor 2 (TLR-2) by Propionibacterium acnes to facilitate inammation. Keratinocytes treated with glucocorticoids were reported to have up-regulation of TLR-2, a possible mecha­nism that explains why corticosteroid-associated acne consists of predominantly inammatory

lesions of papules and pustules (Shibata et al.
2009). Androgenic hormones lead to acneiform
eruptions by stimulating keratinocyte production, promoting sebaceous gland hyperplasia and increasing sebum production (Melnik etal. 2007; Scott and Scott 1992). In EGFR-inhibitor related reactions, the EGFR pathway which plays a key role in keratinocyte proliferation, differentiation, migration and survival is directly inhibited. In concert, an inammatory response ensues result­ing in the characteristic acneiform reaction (Lacouture 2006).
The histological features of drug-induced acneiform reactions vary according to the under­lying drug. Initial lesions of steroid-induced acne demonstrate features of focal necrosis in the infundibulum of the follicular epithelial, with a localized intrafollicular and perifollicular neutro-
philic inammatory reaction (Fung and Berger
2000). In contrast, acneiform eruptions associ-
ated with EGFR show ectatic follicular infundib­ula with rupture of the epithelial lining associated with supercial neutrophilic folliculitis (Lacouture 2006).
Features that suggest drug-induced acne include a monomorphic pattern, unusual age of onset, sudden/abrupt new onset acne, distribu­tion beyond seborrheic regions, poor response to conventional acne treatment and the context of recent drug initiation (Fung and Berger 2000) (Fig.5). The latency period between initiation of the drug and onset of acne depends on the type of drug, with latencies ranging from 1month or less in systemic corticosteroids, androgens and vitamin B) to greater than 1month in ciclospo­rin, lithium, antiepileptics and anti-tuberculosis agents.
Drug-induced acneiform reactions present with monomorphic papules and pustules, typi­cally lacking comedones and cysts. Of note, they may extend beyond seborrheic areas such as the arms, lower back and genitalia. Acneiform eruptions induced by EGFR inhibitors is gener­ally distributed in the seborrheic areas (i.e. neck, chest, shoulders, upper back) (Lacouture
2006).
The list of drug triggers for acneiform erup­tions is summarized in Table8 (Valeyrie-Allanore et al. 2007; Shibata et al. 2009; Melnik et al.
2007; Scott and Scott 1992; Lacouture 2006;
Fung and Berger 2000; Brodell et al. 2013; Bencini etal. 1986; Grunwald etal. 1990; Martín etal. 2006).
Acne vulgaris, gram-negative folliculitis, Pityrosporum folliculitis.
Drug-induced acneiform eruptions generally improve once the offending drug is withdrawn. Additionally, standard systemic and topical acne medications may be used.

Drug-Induced Photosensitivity
https://t.me/medicina_free
SallyH.Ibbotson
1 Introduction
Abnormal photosensitivity may occur when skin photosensitised by a drug or chemical is exposed to light, generally ultraviolet radiation. Typically, drug-induced photosensitivity presents as an exaggerated sunburn-like reaction, or as a rash on exposed skin. Most prescribed medications absorb ultraviolet and/or visible light and can theoretically cause photosensitivity. However in clinical practice drug-induced photosensitivity is caused by a relatively limited number of medica­tions. The interaction of exogenous chemical and UV radiation can also be used therapeutically, for example in psoralen-UVA photochemotherapy (PUVA) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) (Ling etal. 2016; Wong etal. 2019).
2 Epidemiology
The prevalence of drug photosensitivity in the general population is unknown and is likely to be under-reported as affected subjects are likely to stop a suspected drug without seeking a medical consultation. In one report of cutaneous adverse drug reactions, photosensitivity was the third commonest reaction type in a series of 118 sub-
jects (Chaabane etal. 2013). In specialist photo­diagnostic units systemic drug-induced photosensitivity generally accounts for 2–15% of diagnosed photosensitivity diseases (Kerr and Lim 2007; Khoo etal. 1996; Stratigos etal. 2003; Wong and Khoo 2005; Wadhwani et al. 2013) and our own experience in the Scottish Photobiology Service is similar, with drug­induced photosensitivity representing 4% of pho­todermatoses and photocontact allergic dermatitis to topical drugs or chemicals being an additional 2% (Ibbotson 2018).
Not all individuals exposed to photoactive drug and light will be affected; it is likely that genetic factors inuence susceptibility to drug­induced photosensitivity (Ferguson and Johnson
1990). Drug photosensitivity has been reported
more commonly in Caucasians than in African­Americans, possibly suggesting a protective effect of constitutive skin pigmentation (Nakamura etal. 2014). There may be suscepti­bility in specic patient groups, a notion sug­gested by the relatively high incidence of drug-induced photosensitivity in patients with cystic brosis (Tolland etal. 2012).

and on the pathogenetic mechanisms involved in disease expression. Most drug-induced photosen­sitivity to systemically administered medications occurs through phototoxicity (Ferguson 2002) (Table 1). This is a non-immunological event, which can occur in any individual exposed to enough drug (or photoactive chemical) and irra­diated with enough light of the appropriate wave­lengths. The process will occur on rst exposure to drug+light and demonstrates a dose- dependent relationship (Layton and Cunliffe 1993). The general pathogenetic principles centre on photochemical activation of tissue-localised drug by ultraviolet and/or visible light, resulting in excitation and production of oxidative stress, free radicals and photoproducts. The resulting sub­strate effects manifest in the skin as phototoxic­ity. Photoallergy (as opposed to phototoxicity) to systemic drugs is less common and is poorly
understood pathogenetically (Ohshima et al.
2000). However, the mechanisms behind topical
photocontact allergy are clearer. Incident light interacts with the topically applied drug inducing a chemical alteration in that drug which subse­quently becomes allergenic. This photoallergen can thereafter elicit a delayed cell-mediated hypersensitivity reaction (Table 1). On subse­quent re-exposure to drug+light, a hypersensi­tivity reaction occurs in involved skin, which manifests as dermatitis. In clinical practice, topi­cal photocontact allergy is encountered most fre­quently to absorbent sunscreen chemicals and to topical NSAIDs. Following initial sensitisation to both drug and light, a reaction may occur to tiny amounts of photoallergen (Kochevar and Harber
1977). Once a photocontact allergy reaction has
been initiated dermatitis can spread beyond the sites of exposure.
Topical phototoxicity may occur following contact with psoralen-containing plants and sun­light exposure, as with phytophotodermatitis, or can be used in a controlled way in PUVA (Ling etal. 2016). Other presentations, such as pseudo­porphyria, drug-induced lupus erythematosus, erythema multiforme, lichenoid reactions and pellagra, are less common mechanisms of drug­induced photosensitivity.
4 Systemic Drug Phototoxicity
andCommon Culprits
Photosensitivity has been reported in association with a diverse range of drugs; however there is a collection of medicines, which feature most fre­quently (Table 2) (Ibbotson 2018; Glatz and Hofbauer 2012; Drucker and Rosen 2011; Bakkour et al. 2013; Kim et al. 2018; Blakely etal. 2019; Dawe and Ibbotson 2014). In our own experience, in the Scottish Photobiology Service, thiazides are the most commonly documented drug photosensitisers along with doxycycline, demeclocycline, ciprooxacin, retinoids, furose­mide, NSAIDs, quinine, amiodarone, allopuri­nol, calcium antagonists and chlorpromazine.

There is diversity in clinical presentation of drug- induced phototoxicity (Table3). One of the more usual presentations is of an immediate ‘prickling’ sensation on light exposure, a symp­tom which is common with chlorpromazine and amiodarone. Another typical clinical feature is an erythema of exposed skin, often with an ‘exaggerated sunburn’ phenotype. This reaction occurs with quinine, thiazides, doxycycline and demeclocycline (Fig.1). Urticaria may also be a presenting sign of drug- induced phototoxicity. Phototoxicity due to the calcium channel antago­nists may be evident as photo-exposed site telan­giectasiae (Bakkour et al. 2013; Collins and Ferguson 1993; Cooper and Wojnarowska 2003). Pigmentation may also occur as a sequel to pho­totoxicity, particularly with drugs such as chlor­promazine and amiodarone. Fluoroquinolone phototoxicity may induce melanin pigmentation which can persist for a year or more. Quinine and thiazide phototoxicity may be associated with leucoderma (Masuoka etal. 2011; Lecleach etal. 1995; Beberok etal. 2017). Photo-exposed site skin fragility can be caused by drug photo-

toxicity and, since it mimics porphyria cutanea tarda, is referred to as pseudoporphyria. The drugs associated with pseudoporphyria include furosemide, NSAIDs (such as diclofenac or naproxen), doxycycline, demeclocycline, uo­roquinolones, oral contraceptives and retinoids. Pseudoporphyria can also be caused by haemo­dialysis and excess use of sunbeds (Gould etal.
1995; Khandpur et al. 2017; Al-Khenaizan
etal. 1999).

Certain drugs, such as psoralens, produce a delayed erythema which peaks at 3 or 4 days after exposure. This temporal relationship con­trasts with typical sunburn, which peaks at 12–24h post-exposure.
The uoroquinolones are a drug group of par­ticular interest since some are highly phototoxic, particularly in the longer UVA range and visible parts of the spectrum. The uoroquinolone reac­tion is usually rapid in onset, with reversibility of phototoxicity occurring within 48h of stopping the drug (Ferguson and Johnson 1990, 1993; Traynor etal. 2000; Ferguson and Dawe 1997; Oliveira etal. 2000; Kimura et al. 1996; Leone etal. 2003). However, there is wide variation in phototoxicity within this drug class, depending on molecular structure (Ibbotson 2018; Ferguson
2002; Dawe et al. 2018). These drugs are also
photogenotoxic, photomutagenic and photocar­cinogenic following single dose exposure in ani­mals (Johnson etal. 1997), although there is no convincing evidence of skin cancer risk with u­oroquinolone use in humans.
6 Wavelength Dependency
The absorption spectra of photosensitising drugs, or their photoactive metabolites, indicate that the action spectrum for most drug phototoxicity lies in the UVA part of the electromagnetic spectrum. A history of the clinical reaction occurring with win­tertime daylight exposure or with light passing through windows also implicates the role of UVA.Some drugs, such as benoxaprofen, amioda­rone, uoroquinolones, quinine and porphyrins (used in PDT), also photosensitise into the visible part of the spectrum. Although the vast majority of drug-induced photosensitivity reactions are UVA­mediated, a minority of drugs including thiazides, quinine, NSAIDs and retinoids can also photosen­sitise in the UVB region (Ibbotson 2018).
7 Investigations forDrug-
Induced Phototoxicity
If the possibility of drug photosensitivity is con­sidered from the patient’s history then clinical examination may yield relevant cutaneous signs.
Thereafter the gold standard investigation is monochromator phototesting, undertaken whilst the patient is on the suspected drug (MacKenzie and Frain-Bell 1973). Monochromator light test­ing will usually show disproportionate UVA pho­tosensitivity, sometimes extending into UVB and/or visible wavelengths (Ibbotson 2018; O’Reilly etal. 1999). Phototesting is also used to distinguish drug-induced photosensitivity from other photodermatoses, in particular chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD) in which UVB sensitiv­ity predominates.
Monochromator phototesting involves the use of a ltered xenon arc lamp, coupled to a mono­chromator and bre optic light guide (MacKenzie and Frain-Bell 1973). This enables narrow wave­band testing across the solar spectrum to estab­lish, rstly, if there is abnormal photosensitivity and, secondly, which wavebands are involved. The responses are evaluated immediately after irradiation (occasionally phototoxic drugs cause an urticarial reaction on phototesting) and at 24h after testing. At the phototest readings the mini­mal erythema dose (MED) at each waveband is determined. It is important that a normal popula­tion range for MEDs is available for comparison (Moseley etal. 2009). Solar simulator phototest­ing may also be of benet as this allows photote­sting to broader wavebands. The solar simulator is not, however, an exact mimic of sunlight since the output has a UVB weighting. Drug- induced UVA sensitivity can be missed if only solar simu­lator phototesting is undertaken, although the output of the solar simulator can be ltered to deliver light without UVB.
If photosensitivity is conrmed, phototesting should then be repeated once the culprit agent has been discontinued, since drug-induced phototox­icity is reversible. The interval until repeat photo­testing will depend on the drug implicated: uoroquinolone phototoxicity resolves in 24–48 h, whereas thiazide phototoxicity may take 3–6 months and quinine and amiodarone almost a year to settle once the drug is stopped (Ibbotson 2018). Photopatch testing is not a reli­able investigation for systemic drug photosensi­tivity and should be restricted to the investigation of suspected topical photoallergy (Kerr and Ferguson 2010; Kerr etal. 2010, 2012; Gonçalo etal. 2013). Some drugs may cause abnormali-

ties in endogenous porphyrins (Gelot etal. 2013; Woods etal. 2015) or may cause photosensitivity through a lupus erythematosus mechanism. Analysis of plasma porphyrin levels and spectro­uorimetry may be necessary, along with anti­nuclear antibody, extractable nuclear antigens and anti-histone antibodies.
8 Regulatory Requirements
forPhotosafety Evaluation
Photosafety investigations are required by both the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any drug that absorbs light between 290 and 700nm (https://www.fda.gov/regulatory- information/
search- fda- guidance- documents/s10- photosafety­ evaluation- pharmaceuticals). Initial invitro test-
ing using the neutral red phototoxicity assay should be undertaken and, if there is a positive signal for phototoxicity, animal phototoxicity studies should be undertaken. Thereafter, if pho­totoxicity is conrmed, human photosafety inves­tigations in healthy volunteers should be considered (Dawe etal. 2018, 2003). A negative human study would then supersede pre-clinical data. It is important that knowledge of drug pho­totoxicity is established prior to drugs going to market to minimise the risk of signicant photo­toxicity being detected during post-marketing surveillance (Morgado et al. 2019; Yin et al.
2019; Tashkent and Aiyappan 2018). A healthy
volunteer study may be undertaken as part of photosafety evaluation using a randomised, con­trolled, assessor-blinded, clinical trial design with positive and negative controls (Dawe etal.
2018, 2003). Ciprooxacin may be used as a pos-
itive control and phototesting performed with monochromator and solar simulator at baseline and on steady state of drug. If phototoxicity is established, as determined by phototoxic index (the baseline minimal erythema dose pre-drug as a ratio of the MED on steady state of drug) then phototesting should be repeated at intervals in order to establish how long phototoxicity per-
sists. These photosafety evaluations have enabled accurate objective data to be established for many potential drug culprits, such as the uoroquino­lones. Interestingly, whilst the molecular struc­ture of uoroquinolones inuences phototoxic potential, there also seems to be variability within subjects (as seen with ciprooxacin) indicating that genetic polymorphisms in drug metabolism may be involved in phototoxicity (Ferguson and Johnson 1990; Dawe etal. 2018, 2003). Whilst there does appear to be reasonable correlation between invitro and invivo phototoxicity testing with uoroquinolones, human volunteer testing is still not able to predict or rule out rare idiosyn­cratic phototoxic reactions.
9 Topical Photoallergy
Photocontact allergy to topically applied drug or chemical is well documented. Initial reports in the 1960s of topical photocontact allergy to halo­genated salicylanilides emerged following an outbreak of photoallergic dermatitis caused by use of soaps containing tetrachlorosalicylanilide (Wilkinson 1962). In current times, the absorbent sunscreen chemicals and topical NSAIDs are the most common culprits for topical photoallergy. The investigation of choice in topical photocon­tact allergy is photopatch testing. At present, a standard European photopatch test methodology is established, although ongoing review is under­way (Kerr etal. 2012; Gonçalo etal. 2013). This involves application of duplicate series of aller­gens to the back, as in patch testing, with one set being irradiated using a sub-erythemal UVA dose (generally 5 J/cm2) at either 24 or 48 h after application of the patches, and readings under­taken at intervals following irradiation. Forty­eight hours is the key reading point after irradiation, although some centres also read at 24h and 72 h. A positive reaction on the irradi­ated site and a negative response on the control site signify a photoallergic reaction. Reactions on both irradiated and control sites generally indi­cate contact allergy.
