Abstract To the Editor, Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) is the most severe drug-induced cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR).[1] The high mortality and disabling sequelae highlight its clinical relevance.[[1],[3]] Severe drug-induced cutaneous adverse reactions are T cell-mediated hypersensitivity reactions.[3] An eliciting drug can be identified in approximately 80% of SJS/TEN cases.[4] Allopurinol, aromatic antiepileptics, antibacterial sulfonamides, and sulfasalazine are frequently associated, although a great variety of medications might be involved.[5] Prompt withdrawal of the culprit drug is the core of treatment in SJS/TEN.[1] However, its identification is often difficult, especially in polymedicated subjects.[3] The algorithm of drug causality for epidermal necrolysis (ALDEN) is a 6-item scoring system validated in community-acquired cases, which translates the total score assigned to each drug into a probability category (< 0: very unlikely; 0-1: unlikely; 2-3: possible; 4-5: probable; and >= 6: very probable).[6] In vivo and in vitro diagnostic tests can also be used to identify the culprit drugs. A ROC curve analysis including all drugs suggests a good diagnostic capacity of LTT to discriminate culprit from nonculprit drugs after recovery in SJS/TEN (AUC=. 808)(Figure S3). Our results suggest that LTT can be helpful for drug causality evaluation after recovery in patients who developed SJS/TEN after taking multiple medications.[Extracted from the article]Copyright of Allergy is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.
