TLDR
The data suggest that HLA-B*1502 could contribute to the pathogenesis ofCBZ-SJS/TEN, and that genetic susceptibility to CBZ-induced cADRs is phenotype-specific.
Abstract
The anticonvulsant carbamazepine (CBZ) frequently causes cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cADRs), including maculopapular eruption (MPE), hypersensitivity syndrome (HSS), Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). We reported that SJS/TEN caused by CBZ is strongly associat

Medical genetics: A marker for Stevens-Johnson syndrome

TL;DR: This paper showed that there is a strong association in Han Chinese between the human leukocyte antigen HLA-B*1502 and Stevens-Johnson syndrome induced by carbamazepine, a drug commonly prescribed for the treatment of seizures.

Severe Adverse Cutaneous Reactions to Drugs

TL;DR: Adverse cutaneous reactions to drugs are frequent, affecting 2 to 3 percent of hospitalized patients, and prompt withdrawal of the offending drug is often the most important action to minimize morbidity.

Association between presence of HLA-B*5701, HLA-DR7, and HLA-DQ3 and hypersensitivity to HIV-1 reverse-transcriptase inhibitor abacavir

TL;DR: In this population of HIV-1-positive individuals, withholding abacavir in those with HLA-B*5701, H LA-DR7, and Hla-DQ3 should reduce the prevalence of hypersensitivity from 9% to 2.5% without inappropriately denying abacvir to any patient.

Medication use and the risk of Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis

TL;DR: Risks were increased for trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole and other sulfonamide antibiotics, chlormezanone, quinolones, and aminopenicillins among drugs usually used for short periods.
