Abstract
Minocycline is one of the major drugs for acne and is effective in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We describe the first case of drug induced lupus secondary to the use of minocycline in a patient with RA. The dificulties of making this diagnosis as well as the implications for its pathogenesis are discussed.
