title: [Drug-induced cutaneous photosensitivity. Results of a consensus meeting].
abstract: In France, the use of an official drug adverse reaction assessment method is mandatory since 1984. The method proposes various qualifications for chronologic and semiologic criteria without clear limits. The definitions could vary with the nature of the side-effect. We report here the results of a consensus meeting on drug-induced photosensitivity. Dermatologists and experts in pharmacovigilance studied together how the "French method" could apply to the two variances of drug-induced photosensitivity: phototoxicity and photoallergy.
