Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:675. [PMID: 38931343 PMCID: PMC11207115 DOI: 10.3390/ph17060675] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are extremely severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions which are relatively rare in routine clinical practice. An analysis of a national pharmacovigilance database may be the most effective method of obtaining information on SJS and TEN. (2) Methods: Design-a retrospective descriptive pharmacoepidemiologic study of spontaneous reports (SRs) with data on SJS and TEN retrieved from the Russian National Pharmacovigilance database for the period from 1 April 2019 to 31 December 2023. Descriptive statistics was used to assess the demographic data of patients and the structure of suspected drugs. (3) Results: A total of 170 SRs on SJS and TEN were identified, of which 32.9% were SJS and 67.1%-TEN. In total, 30% were pediatric SRs, 21.2%-SRs of the elderly. There were 12 lethal cases, and all cases were TEN. The leading culprit drugs were anti-infectives for systemic use and nervous system agents. The top 10 involved drugs are as follows: lamotrigine (23.5%), ibuprofen (12.9%), ceftriaxone (8.8%), amoxicillin and amoxicillin with beta-lactam inhibitors (8.8%), paracetamol (7.6%), carbamazepine (5.9%), azithromycin (4.1%), valproic acid (4.1%), omeprazole (3.5%), and levetiracetam (3.5%). (4) Conclusions: Our study was the first study in Russia aimed at the assessment of the structure of the drugs involved in SJS and TEN on the national level.

Abstract
The word "elective" refers to medications and procedures undertaken by choice or with a lower grade of prioritization. Patients usually use elective medications or undergo elective procedures to treat pathologic conditions or for cosmetic enhancement, impacting their lifestyle positively and, thus, improving their quality of life. However, those interventions can affect the homeostasis of the tear film and ocular surface. Consequently, they generate signs and symptoms that could impair the patient's quality of life. This report describes the impact of elective topical and systemic medications and procedures on the ocular surface and the underlying mechanisms. Moreover, elective procedures performed for ocular diseases, cosmetic enhancement, and non-ophthalmic interventions, such as radiotherapy and bariatric surgery, are discussed. The report also evaluates significant anatomical and biological consequences of non-urgent interventions to the ocular surface, such as neuropathic and neurotrophic keratopathies. Besides that, it provides an overview of the prophylaxis and management of pathological conditions resulting from the studied interventions and suggests areas for future research. The report also contains a systematic review investigating the quality of life among people who have undergone small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). Overall, SMILE refractive surgery seems to cause more vision disturbances than LASIK in the first month post-surgery, but less dry eye symptoms in long-term follow up.

Investigation of Four Cases of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome among Participants in a Mass Drug Administration Campaign with Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine and Primaquine in Haiti, 2020. Am J Trop Med Hyg 2023; 108:1140-1144.

Abstract
In 2018, a mass drug administration (MDA) campaign for malaria elimination was piloted in Haiti. The pilot treated 36,338 people with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and primaquine; no severe adverse events were detected. In 2020, another MDA campaign using the same medications was implemented to mitigate an upsurge in malaria cases during the COVID-19 pandemic. Four cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) were identified among the 42,249 people who took the medications. Three of these individuals required hospitalization; all survived. In addition to SP ingestion, an investigation of potential causes for increased SJS cases identified that all four cases had human leukocyte antigens A*29 and/or B*44:03, another known risk factor for SJS. Additionally, three of the four case individuals had antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, and the fourth may have been exposed around the same time. These findings raise the possibility that recent SARS-CoV-2 infection may have contributed to the increased risk for SJS associated with SP exposure during the 2020 campaign.

Abstract
The collection of family health history (FHH) is an essential component of clinical practice and an important piece of data for patient risk assessment. However, family history data have generally been limited to diseases and have not included medication history. Family history was a key component of early pharmacogenetic research, confirming the role of genes in drug response. With the substantial number of known pharmacogenes, many affecting response to commonly prescribed medications, and the availability of clinical pharmacogenetic (PGx) tests and guidelines for interpretation, the collection of family medication history can inform testing decisions. This paper explores the roots of family-based pharmacogenetic studies to confirm the role of genes in these complex phenotypes and the benefits and challenges of collecting family medication history as part of family health history intake.

Abstract
After over a billion of vaccinations with messenger RNA-lipid nanoparticle (mRNA-LNP) based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, anaphylaxis and other manifestations of hypersensitivity can be considered as very rare adverse events. Although current recommendations include avoiding a second dose in those with first-dose anaphylaxis, the underlying mechanisms are unknown; therefore, the risk of a future reaction cannot be predicted. Given how important new mRNA constructs will be to address the emergence of new viral variants and viruses, there is an urgent need for clinical approaches that would allow a safe repeated immunization of high-risk individuals and for reliable predictive tools of adverse reactions to mRNA vaccines. In many aspects, anaphylaxis symptoms experienced by the affected vaccine recipients resemble those of infusion reactions to nanomedicines. Here we share lessons learned over a decade of nanomedicine research and discuss the current knowledge about several factors that individually or collectively contribute to infusion reactions to nanomedicines. We aim to use this knowledge to inform the SARS-CoV-2 lipid-nanoparticle-based mRNA vaccine field.

Abstract
Purpose This study sought to investigate the association of molecular markers with chronic ocular sequelae in Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN). Methods One hundred SJS/TEN patients (200 eyes) with confirmed diagnosis were enrolled between July 2011 and July 2015 from a tertiary eye-care hospital, and their clinical histories were noted. Each eye was scored for severity of manifestation on a scale of 0-5. Peripheral blood samples were collected for DNA followed by screening for interleukin (IL-4, IL-13, IL-4R) polymorphisms, HLA-A locus allele typing, and sera to detect levels of the apoptotic markers granulysin and sFas L. Results Of the 100 enrolled patients (53 males/47 females; age range: 6-58 years), the incriminating drugs were non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (52%), antibiotics (10%), sulphonamides (8%), anti-epileptics (6%), and unknown (24%). Significant differences in the frequencies of IL-4R polymorphism, HLA-A*3301, HLA-A*02, and HLA-A*2402 alleles, and elevated levels of granulysin and sFas L were observed in patients compared to controls. The ocular complications of conjunctival keratinization (p=0.004) showed an association with IL-13 promoter region (IL-13a) genotypes. Conclusions The study highlights the possible association of interleukin-13 with severity-graded chronic sequelae and the role of HLA-A alleles- HLA-A*3301, HLA-A*02, and HLA-A*2402 in SJS/TEN causation and manifestation. Screening of these alleles may help caregivers to identify markers associated with severe and lifelong ocular complications, and help in appropriate treatment and management of the condition.

Abstract
Purpose: Over the last decade, there has been tremendous progress in the treatment of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). To understand whether this has resulted in better ophthalmic outcomes, we aimed to study the incidence of severe ocular complications (SOCs) in the acute and chronic stage among SJS/TEN patients, major causative medications, and therapeutic effect of medical and surgical treatment. Methods: Using electronic medical records review of patients of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Linkou Branch from 2010 to 2020, 119 patients (236 eyes) received ophthalmic consultation during the acute stage and were retrospectively studied. Sotozono's grading score systems for acute and chronic SJS/TEN were employed for accessing correlation between acute and chronic presentations, the therapeutic effect of systemic etanercept treatment, and outcome of early amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) performed in patients with severe acute SOCs. Results: There were 46 male and 73 female patients with a mean age of 45.6 ± 22.7 years old (2–90 years), and follow-up time of 408.3 ± 351.0 (116–1,336) days. The numbers of patients with SJS, overlap syndrome, and TEN were 87, 9, and 23, respectively. In total, 109 eyes (55 patients) had acute SOCs, which comprised 46.2% of patients who underwent ophthalmic examination. Antiepileptics were the most common category of culprit drugs causing SOCs in the acute stage. At the end of follow-up, there were 14 eyes (9 patients) with chronic SOCs (5.9%), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and cold medicine were the most common causative medications that were associated with severe chronic sequela. The correlation between Sotozono's acute and chronic grading score showed a positive relationship [Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (r) = 0.52, p < 0.001]. The average chronic grading scores in patients receiving systemic corticosteroid combined with etanercept treatment were significantly lower than those receiving corticosteroid only, Finally, the average chronic grading scores in patients receiving AMT <7 days after onset were significantly lower than those performed beyond 7 days. Conclusion: Our study implies that acute manifestation can be an indicator for chronic sequelae. Additional early etanercept treatment and early AMT showed beneficial effect in reducing chronic ocular sequela.

Abstract
Adverse drug reactions are a public health issue that draws widespread attention, especially for Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) which have high mortality and lack of efficacious treatment. Though T-cell-mediated HLA-interacted immune response has been extensively studied, our understanding of the mechanism is far from satisfactory. This review summarizes infection (virus, bacterial, and mycoplasma infection), an environmental risk factor, as a trigger for SJS/TEN. The mutations or polymorphisms of drug metabolic enzymes, transporters, receptors, the immune system genes, and T-cell-mediated apoptosis signaling pathways that contribute to SJS/TEN are discussed and summarized. Epigenetics, metabolites, and mobilization of regulatory T cells and tolerogenic myeloid precursors are emerged directions to study SJS/TEN. Ex vivo lymphocyte transformation test has been exploited to aid in identifying the causative drugs. Critical questions on the pathogenesis of SJS/TEN underlying gene polymorphisms and T cell cytotoxicity remain: why some of the patients carrying the risky genes tolerate the drug and do not develop SJS/TEN? What makes the skin and mucous membrane so special to be targeted? Do they relate to skin/mucous expression of transporters? What is the common machinery underlying different HLA-B alleles associated with SJS/TEN and common metabolites?

Abstract
Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) are classified as type B adverse drug reactions, and are severe, potentially fatal rare disorders. However, the pathogenesis of SJS/TEN is not fully understood. The onset of SJS/TEN is triggered by the immune system in response to antigens with or by drugs. As activation of the immune system is important, infection could be a risk factor for the onset of SJS/TEN. Based on the hypothesis that infections induce the onset of SJS/TEN, we conducted pharmacoepidemiological investigations using two spontaneous adverse drug reaction reporting databases (Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database and Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System) and Japanese medical information database. These data suggest that infection could be a risk factor for the development of SJS/TEN. In this mini-review, we discuss the association between infection and the development of SJS/TEN.

Abstract
Drug-related Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) are rare but severe adverse drug reactions, termed as idiosyncratic reactions; however, predicting their onset remains challenging. Pharmacogenomic information associated with SJS/TEN has accumulated on several drugs in the last 15 years, with clinically useful information now included on drug labels in several countries/regions or guidelines of the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) for implementation. However, label information might be different among countries. This mini-review summarizes pharmacogenomic information on drug labels of five drugs in six countries and compared descriptions of drug labels and CPIC guidelines. Finally, we discuss future perspectives of this issue. Pharmacogenomic information on drug labels is not well-harmonized across countries/regions, but CPIC guidelines are a scientifically sound goal for future pharmacogenomic implementation.

Genetic Markers for Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis in the Asian Indian Population: Implications on Prevention. Front Genet 2021; 11:607532. [PMID: 33510770 PMCID: PMC7837290 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2020.607532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2020] [Accepted: 12/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
This review attempts to collate all the studies performed in India or comprising a population originating from India and to find out if there is an association between the HLA (human leucocyte antigen) type of individual and development of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) subsequent to medication use. The authors performed a PubMed search of all articles published in English from 2009 to 2019 for articles that studied HLA type in patients who developed SJS/TEN after intake of a specific drug in the Asian Indian population or in individuals of Asian Indian origin. The selection criteria were satisfied by a total of 11 studies that reported HLA associations with specific drugs, which induced SJS/TEN, mainly anti-epileptic drugs, and cold medicine/non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These studies involved a small number of patients, and hence, there is limited evidence to conclude if these associations can be extrapolated to a larger population of the same ethnicity. Similar multi-center studies need to be conducted with a larger sample size to confirm these associations. This would have implications in policy making and for understanding the potential of using genetic markers as a screening tool before prescribing a drug to a patient, which might make them susceptible to developing a potentially life-threatening disease such as SJS/TEN. This is possibly the only mode of primary prevention for this potentially fatal severe cutaneous adverse drug reaction.
