[Stomatitis, glossitis, and esophagitis in a patient treated with minocycline].
After 10 days of minocycline therapy, stomatitis, glossitis and esophagitis were seen in a 62-year-old male patient, who had previously tolerated minocycline for > 20 years without complications. This typical side effect of minocycline was initially misinterpreted in the differential diagnosis and was only diagnosed, when the patient was reexposed to a new 7-day minocycline therapy. Healing was achieved by termination of the minocycline therapy and the initiation of antimycotic treatment.
