title: Hyperpigmentation, neutrophilic alveolitis, and erythema nodosum resulting from minocycline.
abstract: Hyperpigmentation, pulmonary infiltration, and erythema nodosum occurred in a patient receiving long-term minocycline therapy. Bronchoalveolar lavage revealed both a neutrophilic and an eosinophilic alveolitis. The pulmonary and systemic symptoms promptly resolved after discontinuation of minocycline.
