Photoonycholysis in association with a generalized phototoxic reaction or as an isolated event is a well-recognized complication of the tetracycline group of antibiotics. We describe a 14-year-old white girl with cystic fibrosis who developed photoonycholysis of all 20 nails while receiving treatment with doxycycline. Pediatricians who prescribe tetracyclines should be aware of this potential complication.
