7 Your thought process immediately upon evaluating a patient: Is it Exanthematous and fixed > 24 hrs NO Go back to the basics YES Is it dusky? Are there targetoid papules, bullae, involvement of hands and feet? - NO Is there facial or palmar edema, rigors, malaise, lymphadenopathy, subacute/chronic appearance? NO YES YES SJS Drug-induced Hypersensitivity Syndrome Confirm with labs Are there pustules of the skin folds, fevers, rigors, thin sloughing? NO Is the patient in the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit? NO Proceed with Viral and Drug Etiologies YES YES AGEP Stay tuned for next lecture

16 Drago F 1, 2012 Dec;67(6): How do I tell if it is viral or drug?

17 How do I tell if an exanthem is viral or drug? Viral/Bacterial Drug Age Childhood Old Location A. Buttocks B. Face C. Hands and Face Morphology A. M&P&Petechia B. E& Pap or Pustular C. E&Vesicular D. True MP Viral Viral Drug Either Lymphadenopathy 8 1 -Usually viral Systemic Symptoms Fevers, Diarrhea, Pharyngitis etc. Enanthems 61 8 Time of Year Spring/Summer Fall/Winter Striking Pruritus 2 41 Drago F 1, :J Am Acad Dermatol Dec;67(6):1282-8

18 What other clues are available? Drago et al.. Br. J Dermatol. 2002; 147:255-60of cases.

19 Now you suspect drug, what next?

20 Drug Etiologies? Bigby et al. JAMA 1986, 256: Bigby Rates of cutaneous reactions to drugs. Arch Dermatol. 2001; 137,

21 Naldi et al.. Br. J Clin Pharmacol, 48, Drug Etiologies in outpatient setting?

22 Van der Linden et al. J Clin Epidemiol 1998; 51 (8) Antibiotic Etiologies in outpatients?

23 Where are the cephalosporins? Naldi et al. Br. J Clin Pharmacol, 1999; 48,

24 Don t forget delayed reactions to IV contrast Bircher et al Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol 2013; 111:

25 Are there drugs that we can likely rule out? Bigby et al JAMA 1986, 256:

26 What about cross-reactions?

27 What about cross-reactivity of Antibiotic Classes? Khan, Solendesky.. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2010; 125:S126-37

28 What about cross-reactivity of Antibiotic Classes? Khan, Solendesky. Drug Allergy. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2010; 125:S126-37

30 What is the typical time course for the exanthematous drug reaction? Fig 1 Chronology of drug-induced reactions. The separation at 1 hour into immediate or nonimmediate reactions does not sufficiently reflect the extension of the pathophysiologically determined immediate-type reactions up to 6 hours (Late) and the delayed type reactions Andreas J. Bircher, Kathrin Scherer HofmeierJournal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Volume 129, Issue 1, 2012,

31 . We propose that the term immediate for likely IgEmediated or pseudoallergic reactions presenting with urticaria, angioedema, bronchospasm, or anaphylaxis should encompass also these manifestations occurring at up to several hours (eg, 6 hours) and the term delayed be used for maculopapular and more severe exanthemas, which can start as early as 12 hours, even if many are mediated by T cells. Andreas J. Bircher, Kathrin Scherer HofmeierJournal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Volume 129, Issue 1, 2012,

32 Several factors influence the elicitation period: (1) History: This might be unreliable with regard to the exact occurrence of the initial signs of a hypersensitivity reaction. (2) Method of administration: Drugs, such as antibiotics or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can elicit severe anaphylaxis within a few minutes on parenteral administration and can take up to 1 to 2 hours to do so after oral intake. Some drugs, such as proton pump inhibitors, typically elicit anaphylactic symptoms after several hours only. (3) Drug metabolites: These might take some hours to be formed until an IgE-mediated immediate reaction can start. (4) Cofactors (eg, effort, food intake, and comedications): These can accelerate or delay the occurrence of a drug hypersensitivity reaction.. Andreas J. Bircher, Kathrin Scherer HofmeierJournal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Volume 129, Issue 1, 2012,

60 Remaining Practice Gaps

61 How often are we right with the diagnosis? Changing medication Increased cost of Treatment 4 fold. Sastre et al.. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2012; 129(2):566

62 What if we just provide an educated guess on the drug? Expert Agreement With defined Criteria Strength of agreement <0.20 Poor Fair Moderate Good Very good Naranjo C, Clin Pharmacol Ther 1981;30:

63 How to confirm the diagnosis of adverse drug eruption Definitive > 8 Probable 5-8 Possible 1-4 Doubtful < 1 Naranjo C, Clin Pharmacol Ther 1981;30:

64 How to confirm the diagnosis of DIHS Diagnostic criteria for DIHS/DRESS 1. Maculopapular rash developing >3 weeks after starting therapy with a limited number of drugs 2. Lymphadenopathy 3. Fever (>38 C) 4. Leukocytosis (> /l) Atypical lymphocytosis Eosinophilia 5. Hepatitis (ALT>100U/l) 6. HHV-6 reactivation The diagnosis is confirmed by the presence of five of the six criteria above Shiohara.Clinic Rev Allerg Immunol (2007) 33:

65 What is the value of a skin biopsy? Histopathology revealed only a nonspecific pattern consisting of a scarce, mainly perivascular, lymphohistiocytic infiltrate. This was helpful only in cases of AGEP, in which typical spongiform superficial pustules with focal necrotic keratinocytes and papillary edema were observed. Drago F 1. et al J Am Acad Dermatol Dec;67(6):

66 Seitz CS, J Am Acad Dermatol 2013;69: What is the value of a skin biopsy?

67 Seitz CS, J Am Acad Dermatol 2013;69: What is the value of a skin biopsy?

68 What is the value of a skin biopsy? Cohen s Kappa -.29 Seitz CS, J Am Acad Dermatol 2013;69:721 8.

69 Key points: 1. Look for specific features to guide your work-up or counseling 2. Differentiate high-risk features as your first step. 3. Perform viral/bacterial testing based on your patients coexisting symptoms 4. You do not have any strong support for laboratory testing except penicillin 5. Don t forget to back and look through the literature, including clinical trials.

70 High Risk Low Risk Trunk + Facial involvement Trunk predominant Facial/Hand Edema Pustules Vesicles Duskiness Palmar/Plantar involvement Oral/Genital Involvement Spares Face No Pustules No Vesicles Spares palms and soles Spares mucosal surfaces
