Introduction: Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare but life-threatening severe cutaneous adverse reactions. Recently, strong associations of HLA-B*1502 HLA-B*5801 with carbamazepine- allopurinol-induced reactions were found in Han Chinese patients, respectively, ethnic differences the have been reported. The objective this study is to clarify involvement Japanese SJS/TEN patients. Methods: HLA-B genotyping was performed on 58 patients between July 2006...

Summary Stevens‐Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare but life‐threatening severe cutaneous adverse reactions. Recently, strong associations of HLA‐B*1502 with carbamazepine‐induced SJS/TEN have been found in Han Chinese patients. These confirmed several Asian populations, excluding Japanese. SJS patients carrying HLA‐B*1508, HLA‐B*1511, or HLA‐B*1521, which members the HLA‐B75 type along HLA‐B*1502, were detected studies India Thailand. In current study, we...

Carbamazepine (CBZ) is frequently used for treating epilepsy, but this drug causes cutaneous adverse reactions (cADRs) that may range from mild to severe. It reported recently the human leukocyte antigen HLA-B*1502 associated with Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) induced by CBZ in Han Chinese. We examined HLA class I 15 Japanese patients who fulfilled diagnostic criteria CBZ-induced cADRs (mild 10 and severe = SJS 5). HLA-B*1518, HLA-B*5901 HLA-C*0704 alleles showed higher relative risks...

Abstract Drug‐induced hypersensitivity syndrome/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms ( DIHS / DRESS ) is a severe adverse drug caused by specific drug. It characterized visceral organ involvement reactivation of various human herpesviruses. Although sporadic reports have documented certain conditions that appear after the resolution , little information available on sequelae in large patient population. The A sian Research Committee Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions,...

Background Recent findings indicate that periostin, an extracellular matrix protein induced by T helper 2 cytokines, plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD). Objectives To determine whether serum periostin level is associated with clinical phenotype adult patients AD. Methods An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to levels 257 AD, 66 psoriasis vulgaris (PV) as disease control and 25 healthy controls. Serum were analysed together characteristics...

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare but severe adverse drug reactions with high mortality.To present the clinical characteristics of SJS TEN in Japan evaluate efficacy treatments, we retrospectively analyzed cases treated 2 university hospitals during 2000-2013.Fifty-two (21 males 31 females; average age, 55.1 years) 35 (17 18 56.6 were included this study. Twenty-eight (53.8%) all caused by drugs. Hepatitis was most common organ involvement both TEN....

Specific ethnic genetic backgrounds are associated with the risk of Stevens–Johnson syndrome / toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) especially in Asians. However, there have been no large cohort, multiple‐country epidemiological studies medication related to SJS/TEN Asian populations. Thus, we analyzed registration databases from multiple countries who were treated during 1998–2017. A total 1,028 cases identified algorithm drug causality for necrolysis. Furthermore, those medications labeled...

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and its severe variant, toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), are acute inflammatory vesiculobullous reactions of the skin mucous membranes. Cold medicines including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) multi-ingredient cold medications reported to be important inciting drugs. We used two sample sets Japanese patients investigate association between HLA genotypes medicine-related SJS/TEN (CM-SJS/TEN), acetaminophen-related (AR-SJS/TEN) with mucosal...

The natural course of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is variable. Predicting disease progression and survival in IPF important for treatment. We previously demonstrated that serum periostin has the potential to be a prognostic biomarker IPF. Our aim was use monomeric multicenter study evaluate its efficacy diagnosing predicting progression. To do so, we developed new kit detect only periostin. subjects consisted 60 patients cohort study. applied periostin, total detected by conventional...

Summary Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (HS) is a rare but severe disease with multiorgan failure. Many different precipitating factors have been reported, the pathophysiology of HS remains unknown. However, association human herpesvirus (HHV) family, particularly HHV-6, has recently reported in patients HS. We report 14-year-old boy who was diagnosed as having carbamazepine-induced based on clinical course, laboratory data and results drug-induced lymphocyte stimulation tests. In...

Abstract Skin test reactions were evaluated in 242 patients who appeared to develop delayed type drug eruptions from the clinical course. The patch testing was positive 62 (31.5%) of 197 tested and intradermal 105 (89.7%) 117 patients. ratios higher maculopapular (MP), erythema multiforme (EM), erythrodermic (ED) types than eczematous (Ecz) eruptions, while those comparatively high ED, Ecz type, anticonvulsant‐induced eruptions. It is considered that combination useful for determination...
