Definition of adverse drug reaction:Undesirable clinical manifestations resulting
from administration of a particular drug ; this includes reactions due to overdose ,predictable side effects and unanticipated adverse manifestations.
Skin is the most common site of drug reactions.
Introduction

Adverse cutaneous drug reactions constitute from 24% to 29% of all ADRs .
2 – 3 % of all hospitalized patients experience drug rash.
Upto 5 % of all patients on antibiotics experience drug rash.
Around 2.5% of the children receiving medication ( 12 % if on antibiotics)
Some facts about prevalence of drug reactions .

Defination: is a severe cutaneous event characterized by a Triad of :1. Skin eruptions ,
2. Hematologic abnormalities[hypereosinophilia(80%) and atypical lymphocytes/mononucleosis (40%)],
3. Internal organ involvement( Acute and Late sequelae) .
Heterogenesity of the initial presentation leads to it’s misdiagnosis as infection .
Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS).

Can occur with 1st exposure to drug.In case of previous exposure – symptoms
develop within 1 day .Onset : b/w 3 wks and 2 months.Probability ranges : 1:1000 to 1:10,000.Genetic predispositionProgress to SJS or TEN.Mortality is about 10%
![Page 19: DRESS AND AGEP](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556e0580d8b42aba5d8b491a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Progression of the DRESS Clinical symptoms can worsen even after
withdrawal of the offending drug.
Step by step development of several organ failure.
Late sequel-Encephalitis ,type 1 DM and delayed hypothyroidism ,SIADH, long after discontinuation of the drug.

Dysfunction in drug metabolism and detoxification Slow acetylatorsRelated to Epoxide Hydroxylase defficiency
Leads to accumulation of toxic metabolite

Pathophysiology of DRESS

Generation of drug specific T-cell recognition
Endothelial damage Reactivation of HHV-6,7; EBV, CMV,
Hepatitis C virus A multiorgan T cell response ( TNF-α ,INF -
γ ,IL-2)Increase in IL-5 Eosinophilia

During the acute phase of DRESS ,regulatory Tcells (T-regs) are expanded and functionally more robust.
In late phase T-regs become functionally defficient as DRESS resolves ,perhaps allowing for the development of autoimmune disease.

Intercurrent infection (URTI or UTI) in cases of maculopapular eruption in 58 % of cases.
Mechanism
Transient drug induced hypogammaglobinemia is susceptible individuals creates an immunological environment that permits viral reactivation.
Compications of the viral reactivation
1. The sequential reactivation of these virus may be responsible for the delayed onset ,paradoxical worsening of clinical features ,long after discontinuation of drug.
2. Sodium valproate directly induce HHV-6 replication.
Viral reactivation theory
