Minocycline-associated lupus-like syndrome with ulnar neuropathy and antiphospholipid antibody.
Peripheral neuropathy in association with minocycline-induced lupus-like reaction has not previously been reported. We present a case of probable minocycline-induced lupus associated with antiphospholipid antibodies and an ulnar neuropathy which has slowly improved since the discontinuation of minocycline.
