Abstract
Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome, also known as drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, is a severe cutaneous adverse reaction characterized by an exanthem, fever, and hematologic and visceral organ involvement. The differential diagnosis includes other cutaneous adverse reactions, infections, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, and neoplastic disorders. Three sets of diagnostic criteria have been proposed; however, consensus is lacking. The cornerstone of management is immediate discontinuation of the suspected drug culprit. Systemic corticosteroids remain first-line therapy, but the literature on steroid-sparing agents is expanding. Longitudinal evaluation for sequelae is recommended. Adjunctive tests for risk stratification and drug culprit identification remain under investigation. Part II of this continuing medical education activity begins by exploring the differential diagnosis and diagnosis of drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms and concludes with an evidence-based overview of evaluation and treatment.

Abstract
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (SJS/TEN) is a predominantly drug-induced disease, with a mortality rate of 15-20%, that engages the expertise of multiple disciplines: dermatology, allergy, immunology, clinical pharmacology, burn surgery, ophthalmology, urogynecology, and psychiatry. SJS/TEN has an incidence of 1-5/million persons per year in the United States, with even higher rates globally. One of the challenges of SJS/TEN has been developing the research infrastructure and coordination to answer questions capable of transforming clinical care and leading to improved patient outcomes. SJS/TEN 2021, the third research meeting of its kind, was held as a virtual meeting on August 28-29, 2021. The meeting brought together 428 international scientists, in addition to a community of 140 SJS/TEN survivors and family members. The goal of the meeting was to brainstorm strategies to support the continued growth of an international SJS/TEN research network, bridging science and the community. The community workshop section of the meeting focused on eight primary themes: mental health, eye care, SJS/TEN in children, non-drug induced SJS/TEN, long-term health complications, new advances in mechanisms and basic science, managing long-term scarring, considerations for skin of color, and COVID-19 vaccines. The meeting featured several important updates and identified areas of unmet research and clinical need that will be highlighted in this white paper.

Abstract
Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS)/drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) cause significant morbidity and mortality and impede new drug development. HLA class I associations with SJS/TEN and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms/drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome have aided preventive efforts and provided insights into immunopathogenesis. In SJS/TEN, HLA class I-restricted oligoclonal CD8+ T-cell responses occur at the tissue level. However, specific HLA risk allele(s) and antigens driving this response have not been identified for most drugs. HLA risk alleles also have incomplete positive and negative predictive values, making truly comprehensive screening currently challenging. Although, there have been key paradigm shifts in knowledge regarding drug hypersensitivity, there are still many open and unanswered questions about SCAR immunopathogenesis, as well as genetic and environmental risk. In addition to understanding the cellular and molecular basis of SCAR at the single-cell level, identification of the MHC-restricted drug-reactive self- or viral peptides driving the hypersensitivity reaction will also be critical to advancing premarketing strategies to predict risk at an individual and drug level. This will also enable identification of biologic markers for earlier diagnosis and accurate prognosis, as well as drug causality and targeted therapeutics.

Abstract
The drug allergy practice parameter was developed to provide guidance on the diagnosis and management of drug hypersensitivity reactions. It was last updated in 2010. With the growth of research and evidence-based data since then, experts came together to update the practice parameter with a focus on sections that the work group deemed to have significant changes (or were not addressed) in the previous practice parameter. This review is a focused update on aspects of the practice parameter deemed to have the greatest impact on clinical practice and includes significant updates on diagnosis of antibiotic allergy including penicillin, cephalosporin, sulfonamide, fluoroquinolone, and macrolide allergies. Other topics include the evolution in our management approach to patients with aspirin/nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug allergy, diagnostic testing for delayed drug hypersensitivity and allergy to chemotherapeutics and biologics, and the key consensus-based statements for clinical practice. Specifically, the updated practice parameter helps allergists understand the place of 1- or 2-step drug challenges that are valuable tools often without the need for skin testing in many clinical situations. A proactive approach to delabeling penicillin allergy as well as unnecessary avoidance of safe antibiotic alternatives for patients with proven penicillin allergy is emphasized. New guidance is provided on management of patients with different phenotypes of aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug hypersensitivity reactions. Approaches to delayed drug hypersensitivity and use of delayed intradermal and patch testing for specific phenotypes are reviewed. Lastly, practical approaches to management of patients with reactions to chemotherapeutics and biologics are discussed.

IFN-γ ELISpot in Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions to First-Line Antituberculosis Drugs in an HIV Endemic Setting. J Invest Dermatol 2022; 142:2920-2928.e5. [PMID: 35659939 PMCID: PMC9952832 DOI: 10.1016/j.jid.2022.05.1059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
Severe cutaneous adverse reactions related to first-line antituberculosis drugs are associated with high mortality and long-term morbidity. Oral sequential drug challenge, as a form of drug provocation testing, helps to salvage therapy by identifying culprit drugs but is associated with risk and is costly. IFN-γ enzyme-linked immune absorbent spot (ELISpot), an adjunctive in vitro diagnostic tool, may help to guide risk-stratification approaches. To determine the diagnostic accuracy of IFN-γ ELISpot against full-dose sequential drug challenge, we analyzed samples collected prospectively at multiple time points in 32 patients with first-line antituberculosis drug‒associated severe cutaneous adverse reaction (81% HIV infected, 25 with drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, and 7 with Stevens‒Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis). Sensitivity of IFN-γ ELISpot was 33% (4 of 12), 13% (1 of 8), 11% (1 of 9), and 0% (0 of 4) for rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol, respectively (positivity threshold ≥50 spot forming units/million cells). Specificity was 100% for all the four drugs. Rifampicin IFN-γ ELISpot sensitivity increased to 58% (7 of 12) if a threshold of 20 spot forming units was used and to 75% (3 of 4) when restricted to samples <12 weeks after acute severe cutaneous adverse reaction event; specificity remained 100% for both. IFN-γ ELISpot offers adequate risk stratification of rifampicin severe cutaneous adverse reaction using acute samples and lowered threshold for positivity. Given the low sensitivity of IFN-γ ELISpot for other first-line antituberculosis drugs, additional optimization is needed to improve risk-stratification potential.

Abstract
Delayed drug T-cell immune-mediated hypersensitivity reactions have a large clinical heterogeneity varying from mild maculopapular exanthema (MPE) to severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) such as acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) and severe skin necrosis and blistering as seen in Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Given the knowledge gaps related to the immunopathogenesis of these conditions, the absence of validated diagnostic tools and the significant associated morbidity and mortality, patients with SCARs often have limited drug choices. We performed a comprehensive review aiming to evaluate in vivo diagnostic tools such as delayed intradermal skin and patch testing and ex vivo/in vitro research assays such as the lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) and the enzyme-linked ImmunoSpot (ELISpot) assay. We searched through PubMed using the terms “drug allergy,” “in vivo” and “ex vivo” for original papers in the last 10 years. A detailed meticulous approach adapted to the various clinical phenotypes is recommended for the diagnostic and management of delayed drug hypersensitivity reactions. This review highlights the current diagnostic tools for the delayed drug hypersensitivity phenotypes.

World J Clin Cases 2022; 10:6110-6118.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been regarded as one of the optimal therapies. While immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are common in ICI treatment, cutaneous toxicities are among the most common irAEs. Most immune-related skin toxicity grades are low, and the prognosis is good. However, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare but extremely severe cutaneous adverse drug reaction with high mortality.
CASE SUMMARY We report a rare case of SJS induced by pembrolizumab. The case involved a 68-year-old female who was diagnosed with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. SJS appeared after one cycle of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy. After treatment with prednisone hormone symptoms, anti-infection, gamma globulin, and antipruritic agents, the skin toxicity of the patients gradually decreased and eventually disappeared. Although the antitumor treatment was stopped due to serious adverse reactions, the tumor of the patient remained stable for nearly half a year after one cycle of immune therapy combined with chemotherapy, which also corroborates the delayed effect of immunotherapy.
CONCLUSION We believe our report can provide some references for the treatment of SJS and the treatment of immune-related adverse reactions.

THE JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY. IN PRACTICE 2022; 10:1155-1167.e5. [PMID: 35176506 PMCID: PMC9201940 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaip.2022.02.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2021] [Revised: 02/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/07/2022] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DIHS/DRESS) is one example of a severe delayed T-cell-mediated adverse drug reaction. DIHS/DRESS presents with fever, widespread rash and facial edema, organ involvement, and hematological abnormalities, including eosinophilia and atypical lymphocytosis. DIHS/DRESS is associated with relapse 2 to 4 weeks after acute symptoms, often coinciding with reactivation of prevalent chronic persistent human herpesviruses such as human herpesvirus 6, EBV, and cytomegalovirus. The mortality of DIHS/DRESS is up to 10% and often related to unrecognized myocarditis and cytomegalovirus complications, with longer-term consequences that contribute to morbidity including autoimmune diseases such as thyroiditis. It is essential that all potential drug causes, including all new drugs introduced within the 8 weeks preceding onset of DIHS/DRESS symptoms, are identified. All potential drug culprits, as well as drugs that are closely related structurally to the culprit drug, should be avoided in the future. Systemic corticosteroids have remained the mainstay for the treatment of DIHS/DRESS with internal organ involvement. Steroid-sparing agents, such as cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, and monthly intravenous immune globulin, have been successfully used for treatment, and careful follow-up for cytomegalovirus reactivation is recommended. Strong associations between HLA class I alleles and DIHS/DRESS predisposition include HLA-B∗13:01 and dapsone, HLA-B∗58:01 and allopurinol, and HLA-B∗32:01 and vancomycin. These have opened a pathway for prevention, risk stratification, and earlier diagnosis. Single-cell sequencing and other studies of immunopathogenesis promise to identify targeted treatment approaches.

Abstract
Beta-lactam antibiotics are the most commonly reported drug allergy in adults and children. More than 95% of those with reported allergy labels to beta lactams are not confirmed when subjected to allergy testing. Beta lactam antibiotics are associated with a wide spectrum of immediate and delayed drug hypersensitivity reactions. The latency period to symptoms and clinical presentation aids in the causality assessment. Risk stratification based on diagnosis and timing then allows for appropriate management and evaluation. Skin prick testing, intradermal testing and oral challenge are well established for evaluation of immediate reactions. Delayed intradermal testing, patch testing and oral challenge can also be considered for evaluation of mild to moderate delayed reactions. Cross-reactivity between beta-lactams appears to be driven most commonly by a shared R1 side-chain. Standardized algorithms, protocols and pathways are needed for widespread implementation of a pragmatic and effective approach to patients reporting beta lactam allergy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide updates on recent advances in the diagnosis and management of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome. RECENT FINDINGS The number of identified HLA allele associations with DRESS continues to grow. There is increasing evidence indicating viral infection, reactivation, and cross-reactivity may play key roles in disease. Translational work illuminated JAK/STAT activation in recalcitrant disease. There is expanding recognition of rapid-onset DRESS resulting from specific drugs. SUMMARY DRESS is a severe form of adverse drug reaction with potential for significant morbidity and mortality. Recent research advances may improve clinical care. HLA screening can now be performed to prevent disease in susceptible patients and may help identify culprit drugs in the near future. Viral testing should be performed on every patient, and if positive, patients potentially treated with antiviral therapy. JAK inhibitors may be an effective treatment option for DRESS. Early onset of disease relative to drug exposure should not exclude the diagnosis of DRESS.
