Sažetak
Drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions include phototoxic and photoallergic reactions. Photoallergic reactions, which develop as cell-mediated immune responses to a light-activated compound, are described in this review article. The main topics include photobiology, list of common drugs inducing photoallergic reactions, immune response, clinical features, diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Photoallergic drug reactions can be avoided in most cases if the potential photoallergens are known and appropriate photoprotection is used.
