Mechanisms that limit proliferative potential of drug-specific LTT in drug-induced severe cutaneous adverse reaction patients

Background / Objective Prior use of “lymphocyte transformation test” (LTT) suggested that it was less often positive in Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), than in other cutaneous reactions, with possible dependence on sampling date. We explored the possible role of inhibitory co-receptors in LTT, using well-defined groups of patients who reacted to carbamazepine (...

Epidemiology of Severe Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reaction and Its HLA Association among Pediatrics

Severe cutaneous adverse drug reaction (SCAR) is considered to be a multifactorial drug side effect. This study was designed to investigate the epidemiology and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A and -B gene polymorphisms in pediatric patients with SCAR admitted in tertiary referral center, southwestern of Iran from 2013 to 2017. Demographic data, past allergy and autoimmune history, clinical pres...

Analysis of B cell subsets in severe cutaneous adverse reaction

Background T cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR), while the role of B cell immunity in SCAR is unclear. It has been reported that number of B cell and serum IgG are decreased in the patient’s peripheral blood of drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) / drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) in the acute stage...
