Özet
Doxycycline is a wide spectrum antibiotic of tetracycline group that is used in dermatology and other clinical practices for many indications. Beside systemic side effects, such as esophagytis and hepatotoxicity, doxycycline usage may cause many dermatological side effects, especially phototoxic reactions. Onycholysis that is described as separation of the nail plate from the nail bed may be caused by many etiological factors and it is rarely a result of doxycycline usage. We report a 12-year-old boy who presented with onycholysis at all of his finger nails caused by doxycycline usage for brucellosis.
