title: Voriconazole-induced pseudoporphyria.
abstract: Pseudoporphyria is a bullous photosensitivity, the commonest aetiology being secondary to various ingested medications. Voriconazole is a relatively new second-generation triazole antifungal agent. There have only been two reports of pseudoporphyria secondary to voriconazole. We report the third case of this phenomenon occurring in a lady being treated for disseminated candidal infection.
