Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are common in clinical practice, especially among patients with multiple comorbidities and polypharmacy. The ADRs associated with medications may be minor or life-threatening. Many available ADR assessment scales and pharmacovigilance programmes have streamlined the early diagnosis and management of ADRs.

Brugada phenocopy in fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis: a case series.

Eur Heart J Case Rep

December 2024

Department of Cardiology, Tsuyama Chuo Hospital, 1756 Kawasaki, Tsuyama, Okayama 708-0841, Japan.

Background: Brugada phenocopy (BrP) is a condition that induces reversible Brugada-like electrocardiographic (ECG) changes in patients without true Brugada syndrome. We present two cases of fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis that showed Type 1 Brugada ECG changes in the early phase of the clinical course.

Case Summary: Case 1 was a 76-year-old man who developed fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis with ventricular tachycardia while hospitalized for heart failure.

Relationship Between Clozapine-Induced Inflammation and Eosinophilia: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Schizophr Bull

December 2024

Department of Psychiatry, Graduate School of Medicine, Tohoku University, Sendai, Miyagi, 980-8574, Japan.

Background And Hypothesis: Eosinophilia has not been highlighted in clozapine-induced adverse inflammatory events, as it is often asymptomatic and self-limiting, while drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome occurs rarely. This study aimed to reveal the temporal relationships between eosinophilia and other inflammatory events during clozapine initiation.

Study Design: The temporal relationships between eosinophilia and other inflammatory events were evaluated among 241 patients with schizophrenia treated with clozapine for the first time at 7 hospitals.

Background: Fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is a rare and often fatal condition that may present atypically and be complicated by ventricular arrhythmias. Treatment involves high-dose corticosteroids to suppress eosinophilia, as well as increasing use of mepolizumab, an anti-interleukin-5 antibody with evidence for long-term efficacy and safety.

Case Summary: A 38-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with neck pain and fatigue, and after extensive investigation was diagnosed with EM secondary to idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome.

Article Synopsis
  • Hypereosinophilia (HE) is characterized by an eosinophil count over 1500 cells/microL in blood tests, confirmed by either blood tests or high eosinophil percentages in bone marrow samples. Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) involves organ damage due to eosinophils and can be classified as primary, secondary, or idiopathic.
  • Cardiac issues occur in 5% of acute cases and 20% of chronic cases of HES, presenting symptoms like heart failure and arrhythmias, but the severity of heart problems isn't always proportional to eosinophil levels.
  • Diagnosis of cardiac involvement relies on advanced imaging techniques, particularly
