Introduction to the topic
Adverse drug reaction How to identify adverse drug reactions
4
What is Adverse drug reaction ?
(ADR) is an unwanted or harmful reaction experienced following the administration of a drug or combination of drugs under normal conditions of use, which is suspected to be related to the drug.
The reaction may be a known side effect of the drug or it may be new and previously unrecognized.
5
How to identify adverse drug reactions ?
The patient may tell you about symptoms they have experienced since taking a new medicine.
ADR criteria
Abnormal clinical measurements while on drug therapy (e.g. temperature, pulse, blood pressure, blood glucose, body weight)
Abnormal biochemical or haematological laboratory results while on drug therapy
6
Overview
Definition Which type of hypersensitivity is it based on ?
7
What is DRESS ?
is a rare, potentially life-threatening, drug-induced severe, unexpected hypersensitivity reaction that includes skin eruption, hematologic abnormalities (eosinophilia, atypical lymphocytosis), lymphadenopathy, and internal organ involvement (liver, kidney, lung)
Drug hypersensitivity syndrome
8
Which type of hypersensitivity is DRASS ?
9
Delayed hypersensitivity reactions
Or type IV hypersensitivity reactions.
inflammatory reactions initiated a secondary cellular response by mononuclear leukocytes .
Lymphocytes (T cells )
monocytes/macrophages
10
Etiology and risk factors
Causes side effects of “ Carbamazepine (Tegretol)” side effects of “Diazepam” Who may develops DERSS ?
11
What could cause DRESS ?Antiepileptic agents e.g. carbamazepine
drugs associated with DRESS
12
Carbamazepine
Antiepileptic drug
Common side effects may include:• feeling dizzy• drowsy, or unsteady• Nausea• vomiting
• diarrhea• constipation• stomach pain
13
Serious side effect such as:• pale skin and skin pain
• feeling light-headed
• rapid heart rate,
• trouble concentrating
• Fever
• Chills
• sore throat
• mouth and throat ulcers
• easy bruising or bleeding,
• urinating less than usual• Jaundice
(yellowing of the skin or eyes)• severe skin reaction • swelling in face or tongue• burning in eyes• a red or purple skin rash
that spreads (especially in the face or upper body) and causes blistering and peeling.
• severe tingling• numbness• pain and muscle weakness• Confusion• agitation• vision problems• hallucinations• feeling short of breath• swelling of your ankles or feet

It is often used in stress and anxiety.
Side effects: • drowsiness, tired feeling
• memory problems
• dizziness, spinning sensation
• feeling restless or irritable
• muscle weakness
• nausea, constipation
• drooling or dry mouth, slurred speech
Diazepam
• blurred vision, double vision• mild skin rash, itching• loss of interest in sex• new or worsening seizures• weak or shallow breathing• feeling like you might pass out• muscle twitching, tremor
15
If the patient takes diazepam with tegretol
decrease levels of diazepam by increasing the elimination of diazepam by liver enzymes.
increase level of carbamazepine by decreasing the elimination of carbamazepine by liver enzymes.
Carbamazepine Diazepam
16
Who may develops DRESS ?
Children
adults without sex predilection
*most cases occur in adults
17
Pathophysiology
18
Pathophysiology
A defect in the way the liver metabolizes drugs may be responsible.
immunological imbalance
Another theory is that co-infection with the human herpes virus 6 (HHV6) is important to initiate the syndrome.
Genetic may play a role. Pharmacogenetic studies have found a relation between certain population and certain antiepileptic in developing DRESS
pathophysiology of DRESS syndrome remains unclear
19
Clinical presentation
Signs & symptoms
20
Signs & symptoms
Symptoms and signs vary from mild to severe depending on the patient and drug
Start up to 12 weeks or more after initiation of drug treatment and can occur after a dose increase . e.g. the onset of carbamazepine’s side effects considerably long and may be reach more than 6 months !
Symptoms may persist or recur for several weeks after stopping drug treatment.
21
Prominenteosinophilia
Hepatitis
Exanthema
Lymphadenopathy
22
Facial swelling
Generalized edema
Fever
Multi-organ failure
23
Diagnosis
Investigations ( exclude & prove ) The most useful test
24
Investigations
CBC with differential and peripheral blood smear
• eosinophilia >700/microL suggests the diagnosis of DRESS.
• In some patients, lymphocytosis
• And/or the finding of atypical lymphocytes on peripheral smear also support the diagnosis of DRESS.
25
Cont...
Liver function tests • Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
greater than twice the upper limit of normal values
• and/or alkaline phosphatase greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal values on at least two different dates indicate liver involvement.
If Liver function tests were positive Serology for viral hepatitis
(hepatitis A IgM antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core IgM antibody, hepatitis C viral RNA) may be useful in excluding acute viral hepatitis .
26
Cont...
Serum creatinine and urinalysis
A moderate increase in creatinine level, low grade proteinuria, and abnormal urinary sediment with occasional eosinophils indicate kidney involvement.
Skin biopsy The histologic findings of mild spongiosis and a lymphocytic infiltrate in the superficial dermis, predominantly perivascular, with eosinophils and dermal edema, although not specific, supports the diagnosis of DRESS.
27
Cont...
Testing for herpes-virus infection
The search for active infection with human herpes-virus testing for EBV, HHV-6, or HHV-7 is increasingly performed in patients with DRESS, since viral infection reactivation may be a marker of prolonged course and increased risk of complications
Imaging studies
In patients presenting with nonspecific symptoms of pulmonary involvement
(eg, cough, tachypnea/dyspnea), chest radiograph or CT scan may provide evidence of interstitial pneumonitis and/or pleural effusion
28
Which drug is responsible ?
Patch test• helps identify which substances
may be causing a reaction in a patient.
• A patch test relies on the principle of a type IV hypersensitivity reaction.
• Allergic substance will exhibit inflammation in the skin
• Useful for detecting an ADR with carbamazepine and other drugs but not all.
29
Treatment
30
How to treat DRESS?
Stopping all doses of suspected medication causing the symptoms
Keeping the symptoms under control
follow up to avoid relapse
Supportive therapy ( replacement of causative medication )
Antihistamine
Corticosteroids
epinephrine if needed
31
Complication & Prognosis
32
Prognosis & complication
Most patients with DRESS recover completely in weeks to months after stop / replace the drug
Autoimmune diseases have been reported in some patients months or years after the resolution of the drug reaction.
In rare cases, patients developed chronic renal failure and lymphoma.
death
33
Summary
Adverse drug reaction
Adverse drug reaction could be fatal and a special care should be provide for the patient.
DRESS in detail
If you as a doctor suspect of drug hypersensitivity reaction, it is important to take a proper medication history with considering the side effects.
