Abstract:
:This review attempts to collate all the studies performed in India or comprising a population originating from India and to find out if there is an association between the HLA (human leucocyte antigen) type of individual and development of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) subsequent to medication use. The authors performed a PubMed search of all articles published in English from 2009 to 2019 for articles that studied HLA type in patients who developed SJS/TEN after intake of a specific drug in the Asian Indian population or in individuals of Asian Indian origin. The selection criteria were satisfied by a total of 11 studies that reported HLA associations with specific drugs, which induced SJS/TEN, mainly anti-epileptic drugs, and cold medicine/non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These studies involved a small number of patients, and hence, there is limited evidence to conclude if these associations can be extrapolated to a larger population of the same ethnicity. Similar multi-center studies need to be conducted with a larger sample size to confirm these associations. This would have implications in policy making and for understanding the potential of using genetic markers as a screening tool before prescribing a drug to a patient, which might make them susceptible to developing a potentially life-threatening disease such as SJS/TEN. This is possibly the only mode of primary prevention for this potentially fatal severe cutaneous adverse drug reaction.
