    Abstract

    Minocycline is widely prescribed for long-term treatment in acne. Major side effects are rare and include hepatitis and drug-related lupus. Hepatitis can be early and acute or late and chronic, whereas lupus presents as a tardive and insidious disease. We report a case of minocycline-induced lupus initially presenting as acute hepatitis, evolving to chronic cytolysis, in a young man treated for facial acne.
