Acne Antibiotics Linked to Respiratory Infections

Researchers found that acne patients on antibitoics for at least six weeks were twice as likely to develop an upper respiratory tract infection than those who were not on treatment, according to the September issue of Archive of Dermatology. 118,496 patients were tracked.
