  Noncommutative gauge theories defined via Seiberg-Witten map have desirable
properties that theories defined directly in terms of noncommutative fields
lack, covariance and unrestricted choice of gauge group and charge being among
them, but nonperturbative results in the deformation parameter \theta are hard
to obtain. In this article we use a \theta-exact approach to study UV/IR mixing
in a noncommutative quantum electrodynamics (NCQED) model defined via
Seiberg-Witten map. The fermion contribution of the one loop correction to the
photon propagator is computed and it is found that it gives the same UV/IR
mixing term as a NCQED model without Seiberg-Witten map.
