RESUMO
Aim: A case-control study was conducted in Filipino patients to determine the association between HLA alleles and carbamazepine-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Materials & methods: A retrospective review of medical records and data collection were performed. A total of 10 carbamazepine-induced SJS/TEN cases and 40 tolerant controls were recruited. Genomic DNA extracted from saliva samples was genotyped. Statistical analysis was done. Results: The HLA-B75 serotype (p = 0.003; odds ratio [OR] = 13.8; 95% CI = 2.5-76.8), HLA-B*15:21 (p = 0.041; OR = 4.7; 95% CI = 1.1-20.8) and HLA-A*24:07 (p = 0.032; OR = 6; 95% CI = 1.2-30.7) were significantly associated with carbamazepine-induced SJS/TEN. Conclusion: The HLA-B75 serotype, HLA-B*15:21 or HLA-A*24:07 may be used for pharmacogenetic screening prior to prescribing carbamazepine in Filipinos.

A case-control study was conducted to investigate the association of HLA-A alleles, HLA-B alleles including HLA-B*15:02 and HLA-B75 serotype with carbamazepine-induced SJS/TEN in Filipino patients. A retrospective review of medical records was performed. Pertinent clinical data were collected. Eight (8) carbamazepine-induced SJS/TEN cases and 32 tolerant controls were recruited. Genomic DNA was extracted from the saliva samples and genotyping was performed by employing allele-specific polymerase chain reaction. Data were analyzed using the Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney U test, univariate logistic regression, and multivariate logistic regression. Single allele association analysis was done. The strength of association was expressed as odds ratio with 95% confidence interval. Positive predictive value, negative predictive value, sensitivity, and specificity were computed. Of all the alleles tested, the HLA-B75 serotype (p = 0.007, OR = 23.25, 95% CI = 2.33-232.21) and HLA-B*15:21 (p = 0.026, OR = 7.53, 95% CI = 1.27-44.79) were significantly associated with carbamazepine-induced SJS/TEN. The HLA-B75 serotype or HLA-B*15:21 allele may be used as a genetic risk assessment prior to prescription for prevention of carbamazepine-induced SJS/TEN in Filipino patients.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are two related mucocutaneous disorders with different severities. Although the incidence is low, SJS and TEN are life-threatening and predominantly drug-induced conditions. There is a strong relationship between the HLA-B*1502 allele and carbamazepine-induced SJS and TEN in different Southeast Asian populations. Here, we report a case of Filipino with SJS/TEN overlap probably induced by carbamazepine. The condition was treated with hydrocortisone followed by prednisone. The HLA-B*1502 allele was not found in this case. The patient tested positive for the HLA-B75 serotype, suggesting that carbamazepine-induced SJS/TEN may be serotype specific. Establishing the genotype before initiation of the drug may be advantageous for some patients and will aid physicians in determining the optimal drug therapy. Prevention of adverse drug reactions (ADR) may be done if pharmacists and other healthcare professionals work as a multidisciplinary ADR team to ensure that safe medication practices are realised.
