반코마이신 투여 후에 발생하는 약물 과민성 증후군은 아주 드물게 보고되고 있다. 저자들은 11세 여자 환아에서 감염성 심내막염에 대한 치료로 반코마이신을 투여한 후 18일째부터 발열, 반구진성 발진이 관찰되어, 반코마이신 투여 중단 및 코르티코스테로이드를 투여한 지 24시간 이내에 임상 증상의 호전을 보인 약물 과민성 증후군 1예를 경험하였다. 본 증례의 환아에서는 발열, 반구진성 발진, 간염, 급성 신부전 등이 약물 과민성 증후군의 증상으로 관찰되었다.

Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a potentially life-threatening, medication-induced hypersensitivity reaction with long latency. It is characterized by fever, rash, leukocytosis with eosinophilia, atypical lymphocytosis, and internal organ involvement. The most common causes of DRESS syndrome are sulfonamides and anticonvulsants such as carbamazepine and lamotrigine. However, valproic acid and olanzapine could develop DRESS syndrome. We report a case of DRESS syndrome associated with valproic acid and olanzapine in a 41 years old male patient with bipolar disorder.

간질이나 신경성 통증 등으로 많이 쓰이고 있는 phenytoin, carbamazepine, 그리고 phenobarbital등의 항경련제는 피부, 임파절, 간 그리고 폐 등을 포함하는 전신적인 반응을 동반하는 anticonvulsant hyper-sensitivity syndrome을 유발할 수 있다. 그 임상양상은 환자에 따라 매우 다양하며 드물게 치명적인 경과를 가질 수 있어 의심되는 경우에는 약제의 사용중단이 가장 중요한 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 carbamazepine을 투여 후 피부병변, 고열, 호산구증다증, 임파절종대와 호산구성폐렴을 보였던 환자를 anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndorme으로 진단하고 원인약제 투여중단 후, 증상, 혈액학적 이상소견 그리고 방사선학적 이상소견의 호전이 관찰되었던 1예을 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is a hypersensitivity reactions to specific medications, and remain a common and major problem in healthcare. ADRs suchc as drug-induced liver injury and life-threatening severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms can be occurred by uncontrolled expansion of oligoclonal T cells according to genetically predisposing HLA. In this review, I summarized the alleles of HLA genes which have been proposed to have association with ADRs caused by different drugs.

AHS는 항경련제에 의한 부작용으로 드물게 발생하지만 생명을 위협할 수 있는 지연형 면역반응이다. 보통 항경련제 복용 후 1-8주 사이에 고열, 피부발진, 림프절병증의 임상 증세를 나타내고, 혈액, 간, 신장, 또는 폐 등의 내부 장기를 침범한다. AHS는 항경련제에 의한 부작용으로 증상이 전신적으로 다양하게 나타날 수 있다. 그리고 전염성 단핵구증이나 가와사키병과 같은 전신적 질환들과도 유사한 임상증상들을 보이기 때문에 이런 질환들과 감별하는 것이 중요하고 사망률도 10%에서 보고되고 있어 조기에 발견하고 치료하는 것이 중요하다. 저자들은 임상증상과 초기 검사가 전염성 단핵구증과 비전형적 가와사키병과 매우 유사한 lamotigine에 의한 AHS 1예를 보고하는 바이다.

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rare and severe drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome characterized by hematological abnormalities and multiorgan involvement. Liver involvement is the most common visceral manifestation. However, renal failure has been rarely described. The common culprit drugs are anticonvulsants and allopurinol. We experienced a patient with DRESS syndrome with acute interstitial nephritis caused by concomitant administration of quinolone and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). A 41-year-old man presented with a diffuse erythematous rash and fever which developed after administration of quinolone and NSAIDs for a month due to prostatitis. He was diagnosed with DRESS syndrome. Skin rash, fever, eosinophilia, and elevations of liver enzymes improved with conservative treatment and discontinuation of the causative drugs. However, deterioration of his renal function occurred on day 8 of admission. The levels of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine increased and oliguria, proteinuria and urinary eosinophils were observed. Ultrasonography showed diffuse renal enlargement. The clinical features were compatible with acute interstitial nephritis. Despite intravenous rehydration and diuretics, renal function did not improve. After hemodialysis, his renal function recovered completely within 2 weeks without administration of systemic corticosteroid.

Background: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are immune-complex-mediated hypersensitivity reactions that predominantly involve skin and mucous membranes. Despite the low incidence, both are considered medical emergencies as the mortality rate has been estimated at 30-50%. Although as many as half of cases are idiopathic, several drugs have been implicated as main cause of SJS/TEN. This review therefore aimed to identify drugs that were potentially associated with SJS/TEN and compare the relative risk of the medications. Method: A comprehensive search was performed using MEDLINE, EMBASE and 5 Korean databases. We defined study drugs as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antibiotics, antiepileptics, and allopurinol. Only epidemiologic studies investigating associations between the above drugs and drug-induced SJS/TEN were included. Two reviewers independently selected and evaluated candidate papers and extracted odds ratios or incidence rates. Meta-analysis was performed only for drugs that were reported from 4 or more studies. Results: We found 8 case-control studies, 3 cohort studies and 1 RCT. The ranges of adjusted ORs were 0.6-34.0 for NSAIDs, 1.6-302.0 for antiepileptics, 0.3-10.0 for antibiotics and 1.0-187.0 for allopurinol. The drug with the highest incidence of SJS/TEN was carbamazepine (40 persons/1,000 DDD). Conclusion: Finally, the risk was highest in first 8 weeks after onset of treatment in all drugs.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare but life-threatening skin reaction disease and carbamazepine is one of its most common causes. We report a case of SJS secondary to carbamazepine in a patient with previous pruritus due to carbamazepine which was given for treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. We would like to caution all providers that carbamazepine readministration should be avoided in the patient with a previous history of SJS or adverse skin reaction. In addition, we strongly recommend gradual titration when initiating treatment with carbamazepine.
