Abstract
Purpose: This article aims to provide the primary care provider with a tool to assist with the use of minocycline for acne vulgaris in the adolescent population in the primary care setting. It provides a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiology ofacne vulgaris, the current treatment recommendations for acne vulgaris, and a review of current knowledge on minocycline drug induced lupus (DIL); and concludes with a decision tree to assist in clinical decision nlaking related to prescribing minocycline and the related risk of minocycline DIL. Data sources: data sources included online literature review using PubMed, Cochrane, and CINHAL.The Washington State University Vancouver campus library provided current medical and nursing journals which were reviewed for relevant content. Conclusions: A decision tree for the use in primary care is introduced. This tool will need to be part of future studies to test for efficacy, reliability, and practical implications. Implications for practice: This article provides significant support that minocycline DIL is an often overlooked side effect of the medication and that primary care providers play a pivotal role in the early recognition of minocycline DIL and can impact the morbidity and mortality of this patient population in the future.
