Scientists probe why certain drugs cause severe Sunburn-Like reactions

This study looks at why some medications, like the antifungal drug voriconazole, can make skin extremely sensitive to light, causing a reaction similar to a bad sunburn. Researchers will measure gene activity in skin samples and test how ultraviolet light affects the skin of people taking these drugs. The goal is to better understand the process, not to test a new treatment. Participants include both healthy volunteers and patients who are about to start or are already taking voriconazole.
