Vancomycin Hypersensitivity Diagnosed by Lymphocyte Blast Transformation
A 15-year-old male admitted for Pott's puffy tumor developed recurrent episodes of fever, diffuse morbilliform rash, eosinophilia, and tubulointerstitial nephritis while on multiple antibiotics. Lymphocyte blast transformation (LBT), a method of detecting cellular immune response by measuring levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), was used to diagnose vancomycin hypersensitivity and guide antibiotic s...
متن کاملThe lymphocyte transformation test and gold hypersensitivity.
The Empire Rheumatism Council's controlled trial (1960) showed that gold salts benefit patients with rheumatoid arthritis. However, side-effects still occur with this treatment despite regular blood counts and urine examinations and, although the incidence of severe reactions has probably been reduced by careful attention to the dose and number of injections given, serious haematological compli...
متن کاملMultiple drug hypersensitivity--proof of multiple drug hypersensitivity by patch and lymphocyte transformation tests.
BACKGROUND Multiple drug hypersensitivity (MDH) was first described in 1989 by Sullivan et al. as drug allergies to two or more chemically different drugs. So far, the diagnosis of MDH was associated almost exclusively with antibiotics and was defined based on history alone. AIMS OF THE STUDY The objective of this study was to prove MDH by two independent tests, namely patch (PT) and lymphocy...
متن کاملVancomycin hypersensitivity
RED MAN SYNDROME — The most common adverse reaction to vancomycin is "red man syndrome" (RMS), which also may be called "red neck syndrome." RMS is not thought to involve drug-specific antibodies and may develop even with the first administration of vancomycin. RMS is a form of pseudoallergic drug reaction, or an adverse drug reactions with signs and symptoms that mimic immunologic drug allergi...
متن کاملImpaired Lymphocyte Transformation and Delayed Hypersensitivity in Sjögren's Syndrome.
In vitro lymphocyte transformation in response to phytohemagglutinin and streptolysin O and in vivo skin sensitization to 2,4-dinitrochloro-benzene has been studied in patients with Sjögren's syndrome and in normal controls of comparable age and sex. Both the in vivo and in vitro responses were significantly impaired in the Sjögren's patients as compared to the controls. This lack of response t...
