ABSTRACT

Los efectos o reacciones adversas a medicamentos, dependiendo del órgano blanco, tienen diversas manifestaciones clínicas que varían de grado e intensidad. Debido a que la piel es un órgano visible y fácil de explorar, las dermatosis por medicamentos son una complicación frecuente y en ocasiones forman parte de un padecimiento sistémico. Se discute el caso de una mujer de 72 años con antecedente de automedicación con alopurinol a dosis no especificadas, dos semanas previas al inicio de los síntomas. El cuadro clínico se caracterizó por dermatosis generalizada con daño renal y hepático. Posteriormente la enfermedad desarrolló síndrome de Stevens-Johnson, insuficiencia renal, hepatitis tóxica con necrosis masiva corroborada por biopsia transyugular; además cursó con choque cardiogénico y hemorragia del tubo digestivo como eventos finales. La paciente falleció y no se realizó el estudio postmórtem. El curso clínico y las complicacione en nuestra paciente corresponden al síndrome de hipersensibilidad al alopurinol. La relevancia del caso se basa en la extensión del daño hepático, el cual es un efecto tóxico infrecuente por este medicamento. El síndrome de hipersensibilidad al alopurinol es una complicación impredecible y grave
