as a potential biomarker for carbamazepine-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis in Filipino patients.

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). 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.
