In medicine
Most drug-induced cutaneous reactions are mild and
disappear when the offending drug is withdrawn.
Drugs can also cause hair and nail changes, affect the
mucous membranes, or cause itching without outward
skin changes

Drug eruptions are diagnosed mainly from the:
medical history
clinical examination
However, they can mimic a wide range of other conditions

A drug-induced reaction should be considered
in any patient who is taking medications
and who suddenly develops a symmetric
cutaneous eruption

to ccurs in approximately 2-5% of inpatients and in
greater than 1%-3% of outpatients
The serious drug eruptions occur in around 1 in
1000 patients

Drug Reaction mortality : 1.8% percent
Mortality rates for Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) has a less than 5%,
whereas the rate for TEN approaches 20- 30%; most patients die from sepsis

Classification By appearance
The most common type of eruption is a morbilliform resembling measles or erythematous rash, (but the appearance
may also be…….. )
By mechanism
The underlying mechanism can be immunological in drug or non-immunological
By drug
The culprit can be both a prescription drug or an over- counter medication.(antibiotic, analgesic,herbal supplement)

Drug-induced Exanthems Account for close to 75% of all drug eruptions.
Morbilliform, maculopapular eruptions. Most commonly implicated medications are the most commonly
prescribed medications (antibiotics, sulfa). Usually begin in generalize areas .
Often associated with pruritis, low-grade fever, eosinophilia. Onset within 2 weeks of starting a new drug, or within days of re-
exposure. Delayed (type IV) hypersensitivity is most likely etiology.
More common in patients with altered immunity, such as those with HIV or mononucleosis (“ampicillin rash”).
Treatment is dicontinuation of the drug. Antihistamines, topical steroids, and topical antipruritics may also help.

Drug-induced Exanthems
![Page 14: In the name of God Dr. F. Shariati. In medicine Most drug-induced cutaneous reactions are mild and disappear when the offending drug is withdrawn.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033020/56649da95503460f94a96f26/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Urticaria:
Time to onset: immediate, accelerated (hours), or delayed (days).
immunological(Type I hypersensitivity reactions) :antibiotics (especially PCN, cephalosporins, and sulfonamides), local anesthetics, radiocontrast media, blood products, and gamma globulin.
Non-immune urticaria: Mast cell degranulation by non-IgE mechanisms: opiate analgesics, anesthetic, muscle relaxants, and Vancomycin (Red Man Syndrome).
![Page 16: In the name of God Dr. F. Shariati. In medicine Most drug-induced cutaneous reactions are mild and disappear when the offending drug is withdrawn.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033020/56649da95503460f94a96f26/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Angioedema/Anaphylaxis
Caused by degranulation of mast cells in the deeper
dermis and subcutaneous tissues.
May occur along with urticaria (50% of cases)
Can be life-threatening if it causes laryngeal edema or
tongue swelling.
Can be non-mast cell mediated, as in the case of ACE-
inhibitors.

DRESs SyndromeDrug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms
Formerly called Hypersensitivity Syndrome (HSS)
Typically presents with rash and fever (87%), classically erythematous follicular papules and pustules, but may also include
bullae or purpura. Other severe systemic manifestations such as arthralgias,
lymphadenopathy (75%), hepatitis (51%), or hematologic abnormalities (30%). interstitial nephritis (11%),
Hematologic abnormalities include eosinophilia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and atypical lymphocytosis.
Other symptoms: pruritis, nephritis, oliguria, hepato-renal syndrome, and asthenia.
DDx includes SJS/TEN, hypereosinophilic syndrome, and Still’s disease.
Skin biopsy is non-specific.

DRESS Syndrome Common causes: aromatic anticonvulsants (oxcarbazepine,
carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, etc.) and sulfonamides. Other drugs implicated:
lamotrigine allopurinol NSAIDs Captopril fluoxetine dapsone metronidazole minocycline antiretrovirals.
![Page 21: In the name of God Dr. F. Shariati. In medicine Most drug-induced cutaneous reactions are mild and disappear when the offending drug is withdrawn.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033020/56649da95503460f94a96f26/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Hypersensitivity vasculitis(DHS)
American College of Rheumatology proposed the following five criteria. The presence of three or more had a sensitivity of 71% and a specificity of 84% for the diagnosis
Age > 16 Use of possible offending drug in temporal relation to symptoms Palpable purpura Maculopapular rash Biopsy of a skin lesion showing neutrophils around an arteriole or
venule. Most likely due to drugs that can act as haptens to stimulate the
immune response: PCN, cephalosporins, sulfonamides, phenytoin, and allopurinol.
Additional findings: fever, urticaria, arthralgias, low complement (CH50) levels, and elevated ESR.

![Page 24: In the name of God Dr. F. Shariati. In medicine Most drug-induced cutaneous reactions are mild and disappear when the offending drug is withdrawn.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033020/56649da95503460f94a96f26/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Exfoliative dermatitis/ Erythroderma
Erythroderma is defined as a cutaneous reactional state with
chronic erythema and scale involving greater than 50% of the
body surface area.
Usually begins as an eczematous or morbilliform eruption and
progresses.
Drugs including, gold, arsenic, mercury, PCN, and barbituates, are
implicated in about 10% of cases.
![Page 25: In the name of God Dr. F. Shariati. In medicine Most drug-induced cutaneous reactions are mild and disappear when the offending drug is withdrawn.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033020/56649da95503460f94a96f26/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Erythroderma: Marked inflammation and scaling which can result from a variety of medical conditions.
![Page 26: In the name of God Dr. F. Shariati. In medicine Most drug-induced cutaneous reactions are mild and disappear when the offending drug is withdrawn.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033020/56649da95503460f94a96f26/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
SJS/TEN Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis are likely
two manifestations on the same spectrum. The disease is best termed SJS when epidermal detachment involves less than 10% of the body surface area, whereas TEN involves greater than 30%.
SJS is distinct from erythema multiforme major, which is usually caused by infections and runs a benign course. SJS is usually drug induced and can be fatal.
SJS and TEN usually occur 1-3 weeks after exposure, but can occur more rapidly with re-exposure, which suggests an immunologic mechanism.
Mucosal involvement is seen in 90% of cases, including painful crusts and erosions on the oral mucosa, conjuntivae, and genital mucosa.

![Page 28: In the name of God Dr. F. Shariati. In medicine Most drug-induced cutaneous reactions are mild and disappear when the offending drug is withdrawn.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033020/56649da95503460f94a96f26/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Fixed Drug Eruptions
Drug eruption that occurs at the same location every time a particular medication is used.
Begins as an erythematous, edematous plaque with a grayish center or frank bullae, then progresses to
dark, post-inflammatory pigmentation. Sites include the mouth, genetalia, face, and acral
areas. Causes include phenolphthalein, tetracyclines,
barbituates, sulfonamides, NSAIDs, and salicylates.

Investigations
• If history and physical examination are not sufficient for diagnosis, Biopsy e.g. by showing eosinophils in
morbilliform eruptions or numerous neutrophils without vasculitis
CBC count with differential may show leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and eosinophilia in patients with serious drug eruptions
![Page 37: In the name of God Dr. F. Shariati. In medicine Most drug-induced cutaneous reactions are mild and disappear when the offending drug is withdrawn.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033020/56649da95503460f94a96f26/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Perivascular mixed inflammatory infiltrate with eosinophils characteristic of drug induced urticaria
![Page 39: In the name of God Dr. F. Shariati. In medicine Most drug-induced cutaneous reactions are mild and disappear when the offending drug is withdrawn.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033020/56649da95503460f94a96f26/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Treatment
• Once the offending drug has been identified, it should be promptly stopped.
• since traces of the drug may persist for long periods, and some reactions, continue for many days without reexposure to the drug
• Patients with morbilliform eruptions can continue medication even in presence of rash as the eruption often resolves, especially if the individual is being treated for a serious disease
![Page 40: In the name of God Dr. F. Shariati. In medicine Most drug-induced cutaneous reactions are mild and disappear when the offending drug is withdrawn.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033020/56649da95503460f94a96f26/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Treatment of a drug eruption depends on the specific type of reaction
Therapy for exanthematous drug eruptions is supportive in nature.
First-generation antihistamines are used mild topical steroids (e.g. hydrocortisone(moisturizing lotions, especially during the late
desquamative phase
stage
![Page 41: In the name of God Dr. F. Shariati. In medicine Most drug-induced cutaneous reactions are mild and disappear when the offending drug is withdrawn.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033020/56649da95503460f94a96f26/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Topical steroids may provide some relief
• If signs and symptoms are severe, a 2-week course of systemic corticosteroids (prednisone, starting at 40- 60 mg) will usually stop the symptoms and prevent further progression of the eruption within 48 hours of the onset of therapy
