Objective Tetanus antitoxin (TAT) is an effective antitetanus medicine, but may sometimes cause adverse drug reactions such as rapid-onset anaphylactic shock and late-onset cutaneous adverse drug reactions, including exanthematous drug eruptions (EDE). Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I alleles are strongly associated with different types of cutaneous adverse drug reactions. This study aimed to assess whether there is an association between TAT-induced EDE and HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C alleles in the Chinese Han population.Patients and methods We carried out an association study in 15 patients with TAT-induced EDE and two groups of general Han Chinese patients. Allele-level genotypes of the HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C genes of each patient were determined using the PCR-sequence-specific oligonucleotides method.Results The carrier frequency of HLA serotype A2 was significantly higher in the TAT-induced EDE patients than in the general Han Chinese study participants from the human major histocompatibility complex database [n= 283, odds ratio (OR)= 6.93; P= 0.0061]. Particularly, the carrier frequency of three A2 alleles, including HLA-A* 02: 01, HLA-A* 02: 06, and HLA-A* 02: 07, is significantly higher than that of the control group (OR= 14.40; P= 2.4× 10− 5). Furthermore, HLA-B* 39: 01 was in complete linkage disequilibrium with HLA-A* 02: 06 in the case patients. Consequently, the distribution of the HLA-A* 02: 06/-B* 39: 01 haplotype was also significantly different in the cases and the controls (OR= 105.00; P= 0.0024).Conclusion The HLA-A* 02: 06/-B* 39: 01 haplotype is a potential genetic marker for the TAT-induced EDE. Furthermore, the HLA-A2 serotype, especially three alleles A* 02: 01, A* 02: 06, and A* 02: 07, was identified to be associated with the TAT-induced EDE in the Han Chinese population for the first time.
