Abstract

Pseudoporphyria with formation of bullae and vulnerability of skin exposed to light, particularly the backs of the hands, may be provoked medicinally by nalidixinic acid, tetracyclin, nabumeton, pyridoxine, dapsone and high-dosage furosemide and by excessive use of solaria. The present article demonstrates that the condition may also be precipitated by quinidine and ibuprophen.
