Benzodiazepine-induced photosensitivity reactions: A compilation of cases from literature review with Naranjo causality assessment.

Objective: Benzodiazepines have been reported to cause photosensitivity reactions. We characterized the clinical presentation and diagnosis of benzodiazepine-associated photosensitivity and adjudicated these cases for a causal association with benzodiazepines.

Methods: A literature search on PubMed's "MeSH" search feature and CINAHL (1964 to 2019) was performed using search terms: benzodiazepine, photosensitivity, and photosensitivity disorders/chemically induced.
