[The dangers of olaquindox. Photoallergy, chronic photosensitive dermatitis and extreme increased photosensitivity in the human, hypoaldosteronism in swine].

Abstract

The antibiotic olaquindox, an ingredient added to porker feed to increase overall performance, caused a photoallergic contact eczema and subsequently a chronic photosensitive dermatitis with increased UV-A- and UV-B-sensitivity in a breeder of small pigs. Through the use of sun creams he developed an additional (photo)allergic contact eczema to the sunscreens contained in the creams.
