Background: Severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs) are a group of serious clinical conditions caused by immune reaction to certain drugs. The allelic variance of human leukocyte antigens of HLA-B*13:01 has been strongly associated with hypersensitivities induced by dapsone (DDS). T-cell receptor mediated activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) has also been suggested to play an essential role in pathogenesis of SCARs. However, HLA-B*13:01-DDS-TCR immune synapse that plays role in drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) associated T cells activation remains uncharacterized.

Methods: To investigate the molecular mechanisms for HLA-B*13:01 in the pathogenesis of Dapsone-induced drug hypersensitivity (DDS-DIHS), we performed crystallization and expanded drug-specific CTLs to analyze the pathological role of DDS-DIHS.

Results: Results showed the crystal structure of HLA-B*13:01-beta-2-microglobulin (β2M) complex at 1.5 Å resolution and performed mutation assays demonstrating that I118 or I119, and R121 of HLA-B*13:01 were the key residues that mediate the binding of DDS. Subsequent single-cell TCR and RNA sequencing indicated that TCRs composed of paired TRAV12-3/TRBV28 clonotype with shared CDR3 region specifically recognize HLA-B*13:01-DDS complex to trigger inflammatory cytokines associated with DDS-DIHS.

Conclusion: Our study identified the novel p-i-HLA/TCR as the model of interaction between HLA-B*13:01, DDS and the clonotype-specific TCR in DDS-DIHS.

Article Synopsis
  • Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is an autoimmune skin disorder characterized by blistering and the presence of IgA deposits at the basement membrane.
  • Diagnosis involves skin pathology tests and direct immunofluorescence to confirm the diagnosis, with symptoms including tense blisters and intense itching.
  • Treatment often starts with dapsone, but in a reported case resistant to other therapies, dupilumab was used to manage itching while awaiting HLA-B*1301 gene test results to prevent serious drug reactions.

Dapsone and co-trimoxazole are potent antibiotics for treating various infections and inflammations. However, several studies reported the strongly association between severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs) to both drugs and the HLA-B*13:01 allele. Rapid and reliable screening for the HLA-B*13:01 allele can mitigate the risk of dapsone-induced SCARs.

Methemoglobinemia is a condition characterized by the presence of abnormal hemoglobin, known as methemoglobin, in the blood, which impairs the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen effectively. Symptoms include cyanosis, shortness of breath, fatigue, and in severe cases, organ damage or death. We presented a case of a 49-year-old female with multiple myeloma who developed drug-induced methemoglobinemia while on dapsone prophylaxis for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP).

Polypharmacy in cancer care can be complex and detrimental, particularly among younger patients, who can be easily overlooked. This report showcases a 54-year-old woman with cancer, treated for dapsone-induced methemoglobinemia with methylene blue (MB), subsequently developing serotonin syndrome (SS) due to concurrent serotonin-active medications. This case highlights the critical impact of polypharmacy, emphasizing the necessity for acute care providers to diligently assess medication interactions, especially in emergencies.

Leprosy is a global health issue, causing long-term functional morbidity and stigma. Rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important; however, early diagnosis is often challenging, especially in nonendemic areas. Here, we report a case of borderline lepromatous leprosy accompanied by dapsone-induced (neutropenia, anemia, and methemoglobinemia) and clofazimine-induced (skin discoloration and ichthyosis) side effects and type 1 leprosy reactions during administration of the multidrug therapy.
