Article Synopsis
  • Carbamazepine (CBZ) is a widely used medication for epilepsy, but its side effects can complicate treatment, prompting the need for more in-depth studies on adverse drug reactions (ADRs).
  • The research utilized the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database to analyze CBZ-related ADRs, employing various risk detection methods while considering patient demographics like sex and age.
  • Findings revealed that common ADRs included hereditary disorders and infections, with notable risks such as bone metabolism issues and ocular problems that are often underreported, highlighting the need for better monitoring and alternative treatment options for high-risk patients.

Erythroderma, also known as exfoliative dermatitis, is a rarely reported atypical cutaneous manifestation of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD). We present the case of erythroderma in association with AOSD that was steroid dependent and responded to tocilizumab therapy. Skin rash, pruritis, and related laboratory findings were significantly improved upon the addition of tocilizumab, while prednisolone was successfully tapered to an ever-lowest maintenance level.

Background: All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is an indispensable part of the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Although, mild cutaneous toxicities like mucocutaneous xerosis, rash, and pruritus are well reported, ATRA associated severe dermatological toxicities are extremely rare. ATRA is primary metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzyme system, and triazole antifungals are notorious for their strong inhibitory effect on CYP450.
