TY - JOUR T1 - HOw frequently are drugs associated with the development or exacerbation of subacute cutaneous lupus? AU - Callen JP Y1 - 2003/01/01 N1 - 10.1001/archderm.139.1.89 JO - Archives of Dermatology SP - 89 EP - 90 VL - 139 IS - 1 N2 - IN 1985, Reed et al1 published the first case series of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) that was linked to the administration of a drug. They reported that the onset of the cutaneous eruption occurred during the administration of hydrochlorothiazide treatment and resolved with its discontinuation. In addition, 1 of their patients was treated with a second administration of hydrochlorothiazide that was followed by a reappearance of the eruption, which then cleared again with discontinuation of treatment with the offending drug. Their patients were anti-Ro/SSA positive, and in 1 of the 3 patients subsequently tested, the antibody disappeared.
