The most common medications associated with drug induced lupus are hydralazine, procainamide, isoniazid, methyldopa, chlorpromazine, quinidine, and minocycline. [9]

Photosensitivity is a known symptom of lupus, but its relationship to and influence on other aspects of the disease remain to be defined. [4] Causes of photosensitivity may include: change in autoantibody location; cytotoxicity; induction of apoptosis with autoantigens in apoptotic blebs; upregulation of adhesion molecules and cytokines
