The Australasian Registry for Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions (AUS-SCAR) - Providing a roadmap for closing the diagnostic, patient, and healthcare gaps for a group of rare drug eruptions. World Allergy Organ J 2024; 17:100936. [PMID: 39211425 PMCID: PMC11357849 DOI: 10.1016/j.waojou.2024.100936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR) are a group of delayed presumed T-cell mediated hypersensitivities associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Despite their shared global healthcare burden and impact, the clinical phenotypes, genomic predisposition, drug causality, and treatment outcomes may vary. We describe the establishment and results from the first Australasian registry for SCAR (AUS-SCAR), that via a collaborative network advances strategies for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of SCAR. Methods Prospective multi-center registry of SCAR in Australian adult and adolescents, with planned regional expansion. The registry collects externally verified phenotypic data drug causality, therapeutics and long-term patient outcomes. In addition, biorepository specimens and DNA are collected at participating sites. Results we report on the first 100 patients enrolled in the AUS-SCAR database. DRESS (50%) is the most predominant phenotype followed by SJS/TEN (39%) and AGEP (10%), with median age of 52 years old (IQR 37.5, 66) with 1:1 male-to-female ratio. The median latency for all implicated drugs is highly variable but similar for DRESS (median 15 days IQR 5,25) and SJS/TEN (median 21 days, IQR 7,27), while lowest for AGEP (median 2.5 days, IQR 1,8). Antibiotics (54.5%) are more commonly listed as primary implicated drug compare with non-antibiotics agent (45.5%). Mortality rate at 90 days was highest in SJS/TEN at 23.1%, followed by DRESS (4%) and AGEP (0%). Conclusion In the first prospective national phenotypic and biorepository of SCAR in the southern hemisphere we demonstrate notable differences to other reported registries; including DRESS-predominant phenotype, varied antibiotic causality and low overall mortality rate. This study also highlights the lack of standardised preventative pharmacogenomic measures and in vitro/in vivo diagnostic strategies to ascertain drug causality. Trial registration ANZCTR ACTRN12619000241134. Registered 19 February 2019.

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Rheumatology to Detect Cardiac Involvement Since Early and Pre-clinical Stages of the Autoimmune Diseases: A Narrative Review. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:870200. [PMID: 35911548 PMCID: PMC9326004 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.870200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Autoimmune diseases (ADs) encompass multisystem disorders, and cardiovascular involvement is a well-known feature of autoimmune and inflammatory rheumatic conditions. Unfortunately, subclinical and early cardiovascular involvement remains clinically silent and often undetected, despite its well-documented impact on patient management and prognostication with an even more significant effect on severe and future MACE events as the disease progresses. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), today, commands a unique position of supremacy versus its competition in cardiac assessment and is the gold standard for the non-invasive evaluation of cardiac function, structure, morphology, tissue characterization, and flow with the capability of evaluating biventricular function; myocardium for edema, ischemia, fibrosis, infarction; valves for thickening, large masses; pericardial inflammation, pericardial effusions, and tamponade; cardiac cavities for thrombosis; conduction related abnormalities and features of microvascular and large vessel involvement. As precise and early detection of cardiovascular involvement plays a critical role in improving the outcome of rheumatic and autoimmune conditions, our review aims to highlight the evolving role of CMR in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic sclerosis (SSc), limited sclerosis (LSc), adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD), polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) (formerly Churg-Strauss syndrome), and DRESS syndrome (DS). It draws attention to the need for concerted, systematic global interdisciplinary research to improve future outcomes in autoimmune-related rheumatic conditions with multiorgan, multisystem, and cardiovascular involvement.

Abstract
SCARs are rare and life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions. In general, the increased duration of hospital stays and the associated cost burden are common issues, and in the worst-case scenario, they can result in mortality. SCARs are delayed T cell-mediated hypersensitivity reactions. Recovery can take from 2 weeks to many months after dechallenging the culprit drugs. Genetic polymorphism of the HLA genes may change the selection and presentation of antigens, allowing toxic drug metabolites to initiate immunological reactions. However, each SCARs has a different onset latency period, clinical features, or morphological pattern. This explains that, other than HLA mutations, other immuno-pathogenesis may be involved in drug-induced severe cutaneous reactions. This review will discuss the clinical morphology of various SCARs, various immune pathogenesis models, diagnostic criteria, treatments, the association of various drug-induced reactions and susceptible alleles in different populations, and the successful implementation of pharmacogenomics in Thailand for the prevention of SCARs.

Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol 2021; 127:674-681. [PMID: 34400311 DOI: 10.1016/j.anai.2021.08.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/09/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is an intractable drug hypersensitivity disease with high mortality. The current standard treatment requires high-dose and long-term systemic corticosteroids, which may lead to adverse effects and intolerability of patients. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cyclosporine in patients with corticosteroid-dependent DRESS or intolerance to systemic corticosteroids. METHODS A retrospective review of 8 patients with corticosteroid-dependent DRESS who were treated with cyclosporine as an alternative treatment owing to suboptimal response to regular doses of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 weeks, flare-ups when tapering corticosteroids, or experiencing intolerable adverse effects of corticosteroids. RESULTS In all 8 patients (4 women and 4 men; age range, 15-75 years), either intractable skin eruptions, persistent eosinophilia, or elevated liver function was noted after at least 3 weeks of treatment with systemic corticosteroids. The patients had marked cutaneous improvement and normalization of liver function and eosinophil count after adding cyclosporine, and the systemic corticosteroid treatment was smoothly tapered down. The mean dosage of cyclosporine was 1.68 ± 0.73 mg/kg/d, and the mean duration of cyclosporine treatment was 76.13 ± 35.64 days. Their serum eosinophil counts, serum alanine aminotransferase levels, and serum thymus and activation-regulated chemokine levels were all elevated at baseline and then significantly decreased during the recovery stage after cyclosporine therapy (P < .05). No adverse events were reported after adding cyclosporine. CONCLUSION Cyclosporine is an effective and safe therapeutic alternative as a steroid-sparing agent for corticosteroid-dependent DRESS. Further prospective randomized controlled studies are required to confirm these preliminary results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk and genetic association of oxcarbazepine-induced cutaneous adverse reactions (OXC-cADRs), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), in Asian populations (Chinese and Thai). METHODS We prospectively enrolled patients with OXC-cADRs in Taiwan and Thailand from 2006 to 2014, and analyzed the clinical course, latent period, drug dosage, organ involvement, complications, and mortality. We also investigated the carrier rate of HLA-B*15:02 and HLA-A*31:01 of patients with OXC-cADRs and compared to OXC-tolerant controls. The incidence of OXC-SJS/TEN was compared with carbamazepine (CBZ)-induced SJS/TEN according to the nationwide population dataset from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. RESULTS We enrolled 50 patients with OXC-cADRs, including 20 OXC-SJS/TEN and 6 drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, of Chinese patients from Taiwan and Thai patients from Thailand. OXC-cADRs presented with less clinical severity including limited skin detachment (all ≦5%) and no mortality. There was a significant association between HLA-B*15:02 and OXC-SJS (p = 1.87 × 10-10; odds ratio 27.90; 95% confidence interval [CI] 7.84-99.23) in Chinese and this significant association was also observed in Thai patients. The positive and negative predictive values of HLA-B*15:02 for OXC-SJS/TEN were 0.73% and 99.97%, respectively. HLA-A*31:01 was not associated with OXC-cADRs. The incidence and mortality of OXC-SJS/TEN was lower than CBZ-STS/TEN in new users (p = 0.003; relative risk 0.212; 95% CI 0.077-0.584). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that HLA-B*15:02 is significantly associated with OXC-SJS in Asian populations (Chinese and Thai). However, the severity and incidence of OXC-SJS/TEN are less than that of CBZ-SJS/TEN. The need for preemptive HLA-B*15:02 screening should be evaluated further.
