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.

 Key words:  doxycycline, cystic fibrosis, photosensitivity, onycholysis, vitamin E, antioxidants.
