Photophobia Diseases

[Tedebear]

I was wondering if anyone could settle a bet between two people.

Is there any other classic diseases besides SLE (Lupus) and Measles that present with photophobia on exams by NBME/USMLE. Thanks in advance.

Migraine. Also, I think in SLE it's photosensitivity (i.e. rash in sun-exposed areas) rather than photophobia (visual sensitivity to light).

"Meningitii," encephalitis, uveitis, albinism, use of parasympatholytic drugs

Photosensitivity (again, not photophobia) is also associated with many of the porphyrias.
