No Visible Dental Staining in Children Treated with Doxycycline for Suspected Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

Abstract

This study failed to demonstrate dental staining, enamel hypoplasia, or tooth color differences among children who received short-term courses of doxycycline at <8 years of age. Healthcare provider confidence in use of doxycycline for suspected RMSF in children may be improved by modifying the drug's label.
