Absence of Epidermal Antibodies in Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Patients but Beware of Single Positive Results. Dermatol Res Pract 2024; 2024:5504462. [PMID: 38803350 PMCID: PMC11129901 DOI: 10.1155/2024/5504462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare and potentially life-threatening mucocutaneous blistering diseases that clinically can resemble autoimmune bullous diseases. Moreover, it has been shown that autoantibodies against epidermal proteins are present in SJS/TEN. Objectives To establish the presence of antibodies against desmosomal and hemidesmosomal proteins in confirmed SJS/TEN patients. Methods Serum of SJS/TEN patients diagnosed based on clinical criteria, e.g., epidermal detachment with erosions and severe mucosal lesions, (suspicion of) a culprit drug, and matching histologic results was evaluated by various techniques, e.g., indirect immunofluorescence on monkey esophagus, salt split skin and rat bladder, immunoblotting (IB) and immunoprecipitation (IP), ELISAs against desmogleins and BP180, keratinocyte footprint assay, and keratinocyte binding assay. Results A total of 28 patients were included in this study, 15 men and 13 women with a mean age of 56 years. In most patients, none of the serological tests were positive. In two patients, an elevated DSG3 titer was found suspicious for pemphigus vulgaris. Three patients had elevated NC16a titers, suggesting bullous pemphigoid. However, in all these patients, no other tests were positive and in these patients, the biopsy for direct immunofluorescence showed no evidence for an autoimmune bullous disease. Three patients showed reactivity against rat bladder rat bladder; these were, however, completely negative for A2ML1, envoplakin, and periplakin in the IB as well as the IP. Conclusions Serological analysis for desmosomal and hemidesmosomal antibodies is reliable to rule an autoimmune bullous disease in patients with suspected SJS/TEN. However, one should not rely on one single test method since false positive results can occur. Moreover, this study also makes it less plausible that antibodies against desmosomal and/or hemidesmosomal components are involved in the pathogenesis of SJS/TEN.

Abstract
The identification of risk factors is key not only to uncover the pathogenesis of autoimmune disease but also to predict progression to autoimmune disease. Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DiHS)/ drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is likely the best prototypic example for analyzing the sequential events. We conducted a retrospective study of 55 patients with DiHS/DRESS followed for the possibility of later development of autoimmune disease ∼18 years after resolution. Nine patients progressed to autoimmune sequelae regardless of treatment. The generation of autoantibodies preceded by 8 years in 8 of the 9 patients. The combination of increases in lymphocyte counts, severe liver damage, a rebound increase in globulin, persistent reactivations of Epstein-Barr virus and human herpesvirus-6, and low interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-4 at the acute/subacute phases, were significant risk factors for the future development of autoimmune disease. Based on these factors, we established a scoring system that can identify high-risk patients. When stratified these patients into three risk categories (low/intermediate/high), occurrence of autoimmune disease was exclusively detected in the high group. Our data represent the new scoring system to identify patients at high-risk of developing autoimmune disease, although a larger study is required to validate the scoring system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection has been implicated in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases, the mechanism of this trigger remains unknown. We explored the mechanism for how MP infection could tilt the balance between regulatory T cells (Tregs) and Th17 cells. METHODS We analyzed the frequency, phenotype, and function of Tregs in patients at the different stages of MP and various virus infections over a period of more than 1 year. We examined the effect of monocytes to elucidate signals that can regulate the balance between Treg and Th17 cells. RESULTS The functional activity of Tregs was profoundly impaired during the acute stage of MP as well as viral infections. Upon resolution, however, the Treg function remained impaired even 1 year after MP infection. In the resolution stage, the impaired Treg function was associated with an increase in interleukin (IL) 17A+ Tregs and Th17 cells. Development of Th17 cells was dependent on the "aberrant" proinflammatory monocytes (pMOs), characterized by potent ability to produce IL-6 in a Toll-like receptor 2-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS Depending on the prevalence of the pMOs, Tregs and Th17 cells could mutually regulate the number and function of the other. The pMOs/IL-6 could be crucial therapeutic targets against MP-induced allergic diseases.

Abstract
The aim of this review was to provide an updated overview of drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DiHS)/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). Several new insights have been made, particularly with regards to the diagnosis, pathogenesis and care of some important complications and sequelae. The indication of herpesvirus reactivations in diagnosis in the assessment of disease severity is now better specified. Nevertheless, because fatal complications and autoimmune sequelae have been under-recognized, there is a clear need to identify effective parameters for assessing disease severity and predicting prognosis of the disease in the early phase. In this regard, we have established a scoring system that can be used to monitor severity, predict prognosis and stratify the risk of developing severe complications including fatal cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease. Regulatory T cells are likely to be central to the mechanism and would represent potential targets for therapeutic approaches that can ameliorate inflammatory responses occurring at the acute phase while preventing the subsequent development of harmful outcomes, such as CMV disease and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
We experienced a 6-year-old case of drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DiHS)/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) with subsequent development autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis), type 1 diabetes with antithyroglobulin, thyroid peroxidase, insulinoma-associated antigen and anti-insulin antibodies at 4 months, alopecia at 7 months, vitiligo, uveitis due to Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease at 8 months after clinical resolution of the DiHS/DRESS. He was diagnosed as type III polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (PASIII) after DiHS/DRESS. Prompted by this case, we sought to determine which triggering factors were responsible for later development of PASIII in previously published cases with autoimmune sequelae. In the literature review, five patients with DIHS/DRESS were found to develop autoimmune sequelae consistent with PASIII. All cases with PASIII were much younger than those without them. Four out of the five patients were treated with intravenous immunoglobulin or pulsed prednisolone in the acute stage, although effective in short-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a serious life-treating condition characterized by skin eruption, fever, haematologic abnormalities, and multi-organ involvement that can be fatal if unrecognized, especially in patients with liver failure. Diagnosis may be difficult because it is rarely described in children and can mimic many different conditions. CASE PRESENTATION We report two cases of DRESS syndrome due to prolonged antibiotic treatment in young children in whom recovery occurred following different therapeutic approaches. A previously healthy 5-year-old boy had been receiving intravenous vancomycin for right wrist and left elbow osteomyelitis and developed DRESS syndrome on day 30. The patient achieved a complete resolution of all symptoms with pulse methylprednisolone followed by oral prednisone. A 4-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis, pancreatic insufficiency, chronic pulmonary colonization by Gram-positive bacteria admitted for pulmonary exacerbation was treated with intravenous piperacillin-tazobactam and tobramycin. After 14 days of treatment, she developed DRESS syndrome: antibiotic treatment was therefore stopped, and without any further therapy, a progressive resolution of the patient's clinical features was observed within 7 days, while the normalization of laboratory abnormalities was achieved at 14 days. CONCLUSIONS Our cases highlight that paediatricians should be aware of the clinical presentations of and therapeutic approaches for DRESS syndrome, especially in children receiving long-term antibiotic treatment. The removal of the offending drug is crucial and may be the only life-saving measure. In more aggressive cases, corticosteroid or other immunosuppressive drugs should be considered to achieve the best outcome.

Abstract
Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS), also termed as drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), is a multiorgan systemic reaction characterized by a close relationship with the reactivation of herpes virus. Published data has demonstrated that among patients with DIHS/DRESS, 75–95% have leukocytosis, 18.2–90% show atypical lymphocytes, 52–95% have eosinophilia, and 75–100% have hepatic abnormalities. Histologically, eosinophils were observed less frequently than we expected (20%). The mainstay of DIHS/DRESS treatment is a moderate dose of systemic corticosteroids, followed by gradual dose reduction. In this review, we will emphasize that elevations in the levels of several cytokines/chemokines, including tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) α and the thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC/CCL17), during the early stage of disease, are good markers allowing the early recognition of HHV-6 reactivation. TNF-α and TARC levels also reflect therapeutic responses and may be useful markers of the DIHS disease process. Recently, the pathogenic mechanism of T-cell activation triggered by human leukocyte antigen- (HLA-) restricted presentation of a drug or metabolites was elucidated. Additionally, we recently reported that dapsone would fit within the unique subpocket of the antigen-recognition site of HLA-B∗13:01. Further studies will render it possible to choose better strategies for DIHS prevention and therapy.

Abstract
We herein report a patient with breast cancer who developed dermatomyositis (DM) immediately after mastectomy. She had a history of severe drug eruption during neoadjuvant chemotherapy six months previously. Within a month after the operation, myalgia and rash, including Gottron's papules, developed, and skeletal-muscle enzymes elevated, so she was diagnosed with probable DM according to the Bohan and Peter criteria. In many neoplastic DM cases, the course of the disease parallels the course of the malignancy. Possible mechanisms were suggested to explain the development of DM in the present case and offer new insight into autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a severe multiorgan hypersensitivity reaction mostly caused by a limited number of eliciting drugs in patients with a genetic predisposition. Patients with DRESS syndrome present with characteristic but variable clinical and pathological features. Reactivation of human herpesviruses (HHV), especially HHV-6, is the hallmark of the disease. Anti-viral immune responses intertwined with drug hypersensitivity make the disease more complicated and protracted. In recent years, emerging studies have outlined the disease more clearly, though several important questions remain unresolved. In this review, we provide an overview of DRESS syndrome, including clinical presentations, histopathological features, pathomechanisms, and treatments.
