Black pigmented aortic valve and sinus of Valsalva caused by life-long minocycline therapy.
Minocycline, a derivative of tetracycline, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used in the treatment of various infections. Black discolouration of the skin, teeth, bones and the thyroid gland are sequelae of long-term minocycline therapy. We report an unusual case of minocycline-induced pigmentation of the aortic valve and sinuses of Valsalva.
