Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Objective: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions. Antiseizure medications (ASMs) with aromatic ring structure, including carbamazepine, are among the most common culprits. Screening for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allele HLA-B*15:02 is recommended prior to initiating treatment with carbamazepine in Asians, but this allele has low positive predictive value.
