Doxycycline is a commonly prescribed medication for the management of acne vulgaris. Severe adverse reactions to this medication are uncommon. We describe an unusual case of a 20-year-old female who experienced a life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction, including fever, lymphadenopathy, hepatitis, nephritis and severe pneumonitis with respiratory failure following oral administration of doxycycline for facial acne.
