title: Persistent photodamage following drug photosensitization in a lung-transplant recipient.
abstract: Photosensitivity is a well-known complication of treatment with quinolone antibiotics. Several transient phototoxic drug reactions have been described. We report a case of a persistent phototoxic reaction to ciprofloxacin in a lung-transplant recipient on a long-term immunosuppressive drug regimen.
