Background: Anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome (AHS) is a life-threatening, drug-induced, multiorgan system reaction. The identification of predisposing factors is clearly needed to predict the incidence and outcome of AHS; attention has recently been focused on reactivation of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6).Objective: To determine whether immunosuppressive conditions that can allow HHV-6 reactivation could be specifically detected in association with the onset of AHS.Design: We analyzed patients with AHS who were treated during 1997-2002. Two groups of patients receiving anticonvulsants; served as controls. Setting: Department of Dermatology, Kyorin University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.Patients: Ten patients with AHS.Main Outcome Measures: The results of serologic tests for antibody titers for various viruses, including HHV-6,Results: Serum IgG levels (mean, 745 mg/dL) and circulating B-cell counts (mean, 88/muL) in patients with AHS were significantly decreased at onset compared with control groups (P
