HLA-B*1502 in Iranian Children with Anticonvulsant Drugs-Induced Skin Reactions

چکیده
OBJECTIVE Anticonvulsant drugs can cause various forms of skin drug reactions, ranging from exanthema to severe blistering reactions. An association between HLA-B*1502 allele and severe skin reactions have been reported. MATERIALS & METHODS Fifteen patients with severe skin reactions following treatment with anticonvulsant drugs (Carbamazepine, lamotrigine, phenobarbital, primidone) and 15 controls (age-matched epileptic patients taking similar anticonvulsants without drug eruption) were included. They were referred to Mofid Children's Hospital in Tehran, Iran, between Jan 2012 to Jan 2014. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of all patients and HLA- B*1502 genotype was detected by real-time PCR. RESULTS None of the patients was positive for HLA- B*1502, but two patients in control group had positive HLA- B*1502. CONCLUSION The HLA- B*1502 is not correlated with severe anticonvulsant drugs -induced skin reactions in Iranian children.

Antiepileptic drugs-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a life-threatening severe cutaneous adverse reaction. Recent studies in Thailand and Taiwan showed a significant association between phenytoin (PHT)-induced SJS and human leucocyte antigen HLA-B*1502 allele. Although the US FDA had issued an alert to clinicians, insufficient information is available to recommend testing for HLA-B*150...

There have been a number of studies about correlations between HLA genotypes in various ethnic groups and occurrence of various cutaneous adverse drug reactions, ranging in intensity from mild to severe, caused by antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). This is the first report analyzing the HLA genotypes of 9 Korean patients with skin rashes induced by various AEDs. The AEDs that induced skin rash were la...

Poster presentation Some autistic children also have symptoms of depression, anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Aromatic anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) may be used as a mood-stabilizing medication to treat these symptoms, including carbamazepine (CBZ), oxcarbazepine (OXCBZ), and lamotrigene (LMG). Moreover, one in every four autistic spectrum disorder children have seizures, the use o...

Our study showed that 10 (6 Malay, 4 Chinese) patients were positive for HLA-B*1502. Out of ...

BACKGROUND Recent study demonstrated that HLA-B*1502 was a common risk allele in aromatic antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis in Han Chinese. However, the association of AEDs-induced mild maculopapular eruption (MPE) with HLA-B*1502 remains unclear until recently. In the present study, we conducted a pilot study to detect a possible associa...
