Abstract
- Patients with a history of or a predisposition to autoimmune or collagen vascular diseases are inclined to develop drug-induced subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) due to terbinafine therapy. Here, we report a case of terbinafine-induced SCLE in a male patient, although classic SCLE most commonly affects females, and he did not have a diagnosis of or a history suggestive of a predisposition to autoimmune or collagen vascular diseases. Although the mechanism for terbinafine-induced SCLE has not been fully elucidated, we suggest that there may be distinctive mechanisms of terbinafine-induced SCLE of patients with and without a predisposition to or history of autoimmune or connective tissue diseases, which should be a focus of future research.
