Sulfonamides are associated with severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs). Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) triggers an immune response, which may increase the likelihood of developing a hypersensitivity reaction. We sought to explore the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on the probability of developing SCARs and/or erythema multiforme (EM) reactions to sulfonamides.

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS)/drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) is a life-threatening, multi-organ adverse drug reaction with a mortality rate of approximately 10 %-20 %. The most common culprit drugs are anticonvulsants, some antibiotics such as dapsone and minocycline, salazosulfapyridine, allopurinol and some antiretroviral molecules such as abacavir and nevirapine. Only one case of DRESS induced by sildenafil has been reported in the literature.

Antiviral drugs are not known for drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome. The current study aims is to find out the association of antiviral drugs and their possible mechanism with DRESS. Data mining algorithms such as proportional reporting ratio that is, PRR (≥2) with associated χ value (>4), reporting odds ratio that is, ROR (≥2) with 95% confidence interval and case count (≥3) were calculated to identify a possible signal.

To examine the association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and nevirapine (NVP)- and efavirenz (EFV)-induced cutaneous adverse reactions in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients, we conducted a case-control study at our center consisting of 96 patients. Patients were further assigned based on the occurrence of cutaneous adverse events and the drugs involved. All patients were subjected to next generation sequencing (NGS)-based screening with focus on HLA phenotype, including the presence of HLA-B, HLA-C, and HLA-DRB1.

Background: The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and antibiotic regimens for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and its concomitant opportunistic infections, respectively, significantly improve the morbidity and mortality of the infected patients. However, these drugs commonly cause drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The reason proposed are multifactorial, which includes immune hyperactivation, changes in drug metabolism, patient cytokine profiles, oxidative stress, genetic predisposition, and the principal target in HIV patients, the CD4+ lymphocytes.
