ABSTRACT

Durante la pandemia por COVID-19 se observaron diversas reacciones adversas a fármacos. Esto pudo haber estado relacionado con una mayor susceptibilidad inmunológica de los pacientes con SARS-CoV-2 a presentar este tipo de cuadros, así como también con la exposición a múltiples medicamentos utilizados en su tratamiento. Comunicamos el caso de un paciente con una infección respiratoria grave por COVID-19, que presentó 2 reacciones adversas graves a fármacos en un período corto de tiempo. (AU)


During the COVID-19 pandemic, various adverse drug reactions were observed. This could have been related to a greater immunological susceptibility of patients with SARS-CoV-2 to present this type of symptoms, as well as exposure to multiple drugs used in their treatment. We report the case of a patient with a severe respiratory infection due to COVID-19, who presented 2 serious adverse drug reactions associated with paracetamol in a short period of time. (AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Las reacciones cutáneas a drogas son cada vez más frecuentes en edades pediátricas, con un alto impacto en la salud de los niños. Pueden manifestarse en formas muy disímiles, desde un exantema transitorio hasta cuadros graves con afectación multisistémica potencialmente fatales. En la presente revisión se hace énfasis en las farmacodermias graves en la infancia, con el objetivo de promover el conocimiento por parte del personal médico para facilitar su diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno. Se desarrolló una búsqueda en la Biblioteca Virtual de Salud de Infomed y en Google: se revisaron 28 trabajos científicos sin limitación de año y país, 24 de ellos pertenecen a los últimos cinco años y de estos 17 a los últimos tres. El dominio de los elementos para el diagnóstico precoz y las opciones terapéuticas son indispensables para elegir la conducta adecuada frente a estas reacciones cutáneas graves y disminuir la morbimortalidad por estas afecciones (AU).


ABSTRACT Skin reactions to drugs are increasingly common at pediatric ages, with a high impact on children's health. They can appear in very dissimilar forms, from a transient rash to serious pictures with potentially fatal multisystem involvement. This review focuses on severe pharmacodermies in the childhood, with the aim of promoting medical staff knowledge to facilitate their timely diagnosis and treatment. A search was led in the Infomed Virtual Health Library and in Google: 28 scientific papers were reviewed without limitation of year and country, 24 of them belong to the last five years and from these 17 to the last three. Mastery of the elements for early diagnosis and therapeutic options are indispensable to choose the appropriate behavior against these serious skin reactions and to decrease morbidity and mortality due to these conditions (AU).

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: identificar as manifestações clínicas da necrólise epidérmica tóxica (NET) e síndrome de Stevens Johnson (SSJ). Método: trata-se de uma revisão narrativa. A busca dos artigos utilizou a ferramenta Publish or Perish, que ranqueia os trabalhos com base no número de citações recebidas. Foram realizadas duas buscas, pois apesar das doenças se relacionarem, possuem diagnósticos diferentes. Na primeira, os descritores utilizados foram: "necrólise epidérmica tóxica" e "manifestações clínicas", e na segunda os descritores foram: "Síndrome de Stevens-Johnson" e "manifestações clínicas". Resultados: após a leitura dos 12 artigos selecionados, entendeu-se que a patogênese da necrólise epidérmica tóxica e Síndrome de Stevens Johnson se dá pela hipersensibilidade tardia a fármacos. As manifestações clínicas se dão pelo aparecimento do eritema cutâneo com formação de máculas, pápulas, vesículas e bolhas associadas ou isoladas, como placas de urticária ou eritema extenso. Na NET é possível notar desprendimento extenso da epiderme maior que 30% da superfície corpórea, conhecido como sinal de Nikolsky, com acometimento de mucosas. Conclusão: A NET e SSJ são farmacodermias graves, com baixas incidências, mas elevada mortalidade. O reconhecimento precoce das doenças e a retirada do fármaco causador são essenciais para conduzir o tratamento, diminuindo por sua vez a taxa de mortalidade.(AU)


Objective: to identify the clinical manifestations of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and Stevens Johnson syndrome (SJS). Method: the articles search was done using the Publish or Perish computational tool, which ranks the articles based on the number of citations. Two separate searches were performed, because although the diseases are related, they have different diagnoses. In the first, the descriptors used were "Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis" and "clinical manifestations", and in the second the descriptors were "Stevens-Johnson Syndrome" and "clinical manifestations". Results: in total, 12 articles constituted the present revision. It was understood that the pathogenesis of TEN and SJS is due to late drugs hypersensitivity. The clinical manifestations are due to the appearance of cutaneous erythema with the formation of macules, papules, vesicles and associated or isolated blisters, such as urticaria plaques or extensive erythema. In the TEN it is possible to notice extensive detachment of the epidermis greater than 30% of the body surface, known as Nikolsky's signal, with mucous involvement. Conclusion: TEN and SJS are serious skin diseases, with low incidences but high mortality. Early recognition of disease and withdrawal of the causative drug are essential for conducting treatment, thus decreasing the mortality rate. Descriptors: Nursing; Dermatology; Signs and Symptoms; Treatment; Health Management.(AU)

ABSTRACT

La necrólisis epidérmica tóxica y el síndrome de StevensJohnson son enfermedades mucocutáneas raras que están asociadas a una evolución prolongada y a un desenlace potencialmente mortal. Principalmente están inducidas por fármacos y las tasas de mortalidad son muy elevadas. Aunque la piel es la más comprometida, también pueden estar afectados múltiples aparatos o sistemas como el cardiovascular, pulmonar, gastrointestinal y urinario. En este artículo, describimos el caso de un paciente con síndrome de Stevens-Johnson asociado al tratamiento con metotrexato, quien desarrolló insuficiencia cardíaca aguda y hemorragia gastrointestinal además de las manifestaciones en la piel. El paciente recibió un tratamiento satisfactorio con metilprednisolona e inmunoglobulina por vía intravenosa y continuó la quimioterapia con metotrexato.


Toxic epidermal necrolysis and Stevens-Johnson syndrome are rare mucocutaneous diseases which are associated with a prolonged course and potentially lethal outcome. They are mostly drug induced and mortality rates are very high. Although mostly skin is involved, multiple organ systems such as cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and urinary systems may be affected. Here, we report a case of StevensJohnson Syndrome associated with methotrexate treatment who developed acute cardiac failure and gastrointestinal hemorrhage beside skin findings. He had been treated with intravenous immunglobulin and methylprednisolone succesfully and continued chemotherapy with methotrexate treatment again.

ABSTRACT

Objectif : Le but de cette étude était de décrire les aspects épidémiologiques, cliniques et évolutifs de la nécrolyse épidermique toxique à l'Hôpital Central de Yaoundé, et d'identifier les médicaments incriminés dans la survenue de cette maladie. Patients et méthodes : Il s'agissait d'une étude rétrospective et descriptive réalisée dans le service de réanimation de l'Hôpital Central de Yaoundé, portant sur 64 cas de nécrolyse épidermique toxique, diagnostiqués entre le 1er octobre 2005 et le 30 septembre 2015. Résultats : La prévalence de la nécrolyse épidermique toxique a été estimée à 2% des patients hospitalisés. Il y avait une prédominance féminine (sex-ratio de 1 : 1,6 en faveur des femmes). L'âge moyen des patients était 32,7 ± 22 ans avec une prédominance des jeunes âgés de 20 à 40 ans (75%). Le syndrome de Lyell était le plus fréquent (62%), suivi de la forme intermédiaire (25%) et du syndrome de Stevens-Johnson (13%). Et dans 67,2% des cas, cette maladie survenait chez des patients infectés par le VIH. L'évolution a été marquée par un taux de mortalité de 56,3%, tous présentant le syndrome de Lyell. Parmi les médicaments incriminés, le Sulfaméthoxazole-Triméthoprime était en tête (56,2%), suivi par la Sulfadoxine-Pyriméthamine (18,7%) et la Névirapine (11%). Chez 8 patients (12,5%), aucun médicament n'a été formellement mis en cause. Conclusion : La nécrolyse épidermique toxique est fréquemment rencontrée et diagnostiquée. Elle est causée par des médicaments reconnus allergisants et inducteurs de toxidermie. L'usage de ces médicaments devrait faire pondérer le bénéfice thérapeutique attendu par le risque encouru

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La necrólisis epidérmica tóxica (NET) y el síndrome de Stevens-Johnson (SSJ) son reacciones cutáneas raras, graves y potencialmente mortales asociadas principalmente al uso de medicamentos; sin embargo, se ha señalado la posible relación entre el SSJ con la infección por Mycoplasma pneumoniae o herpes. El tratamiento consiste en la suspensión del fármaco y cuidados de soporte. No existe tratamiento específico que haya demostrado eficacia. Se ha propuesto el uso de inmunoglobulina intravenosa debido a su potencial anti-Fas in vitro, aunque sus efectos reportados no son concluyentes. Objetivo: Describir la respuesta a inmunoglobulina intravenosa en el tratamiento del SSJ/NET en el Hospital de Especialidades Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo en pacientes con SSJ/NET del servicio de Medicina Interna que recibieron inmunoglobulina intravenosa (IV) en el período de marzo de 2008 y abril de 2014. Resultados: Siete pacientes recibieron de 1-3 g/kg de inmunoglobulina IV, 5 mujeres (87.7%) y 1 hombre (14.2%). Todos se relacionaron con ingesta de fármacos, trimetoprim/sulfametoxazol en el 28.5% de los casos. El 71.4% presentó fiebre, 85.7% presentó afección mayor al 10% de la superficie corporal, 100% presentó afección de 2 o más mucosas y 42.8% requirió manejo avanzado de la vía aérea. La estancia hospitalaria promedio fue de 32 días. No ocurrieron defunciones. Una mujer presentó hipertensión asociada a la infusión de inmunoglobulina, así como cefalea, y otra paciente desarrolló neumonía nosocomial. Conclusiones: La respuesta a inmunoglobulina IV fue satisfactoria logrando abortar la progresión del cuadro en 5 pacientes, 85.7% de los casos, sin efectos adversos relevantes(AU)


Background: Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and Stevens -Johnson syndrome (SJS) are rare but serious and potentially lifethreatening adverse cutaneous drug reactions. However, a possible relationship between SJS with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection or herpes has been noted. Treatment consists of drug discontinuation and supportive care as there is no specific therapy that has shown efficacy. Intravenous immunoglobulins have been tested as a consequence of the anti-Fas in vitro potential, although its reported effects are inconclusive. Objective: To describe the response to intravenous immunoglobulin in the management of SJS / TEN in Hospital de Especialidades Centro Médico Nacional SXXI. Material and methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted in patients with SJS / TEN in the service of Internal Medicine who received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) from March 2008 until April 2014. Results: Seven patients received 1-3 g/ kg IV immunoglobulin, 5 females (87.7 %) and 1 male (14.2 %), all related to ingestion of drugs, trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole in 28.5 % of cases. 71.4% had fever, 85.7 % had skin involvement of greater than 10% of the body surface , 100 % had involvement of 2 or more mucous and 42.8 % required advanced airway management . The average hospital stay was 32 days. No deaths occurred. A woman has hypertension associated with immunoglobulin infusion and headache, and another patient developed nosocomial pneumonia Conclusions: Response to IV immunoglobulin was satisfactory as it was associated with cessation of skin and mucosal detachment in 85.7 % of cases without significant adverse effects.

ABSTRACT

Lamotrigine is an anticonvulsant drug used to treat partial and generalized seizure disorders. Hypersensitivity to lamotrigine usually causes mild symptoms such as fever, rash, and slight invasion of internal organs. However, a 33-year-old male patient who was admitted with Stevens-Johnson syndrome after taking lamotrigine for 15 days experienced hepatic failure and died 5 days after admission. This case demonstrates the importance of realizing that lamotrigine can lead to fatal hepatic failure, and that tests for the normal liver function should be performed when administering lamotrigine.

ABSTRACT

Toxic epidermal necrolysis [TEN] is a severe drug induced type IV hypersensitivity syndrome that can be caused by anticonvulsant drugs, especially the aromatic anticonvulsants such as phenytoin. Most patients with brain metastasis receive whole brain radiotherapy along with anti-edema measures and anticonvulsants either as prophylactic or for symptom control; phenytoin being the most commonly used drug. In a subset of patients, cranial irradiation may act as a precipitating factor along with anticonvulsants for the development of TEN. We report a 54-year-old patient with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer treated with palliative whole brain and mediastinal radiotherapy with concurrent phenytoin-developing TEN, which started within the radiation portals with subsequent generalization. Though a rare, but serious complication, avoidance of the use of phenytoin concurrent with radiotherapy, replacing phenytoin with newer anticonvulsants, early recognition, aggressive management and awareness of this possible complication has been implied upon in this report

ABSTRACT

Acute vanishing bile duct syndrome, a rare but rapidly progressive destruction of the intrahepatic bile ducts with unknown pathogenesis, is most often a drug- or toxin-related. Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a serious dermatologic condition and a potentially life threatening disease, which is drug or infection induced. Ibuprofen associated acute vanishing bile duct syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis have not been reported previously in infants. We report a 7-month-old infant with ibuprofen associated toxic epidermal necrolysis, followed by severe and rapidly progressive vanishing bile duct syndrome. She recovered totally with supportive care.

ABSTRACT

El eritema multiforme, el síndrome de Stevens-Johnson y la necrólisis epidérmica tóxica representan diferentes manifestaciones de un mismo espectro de graves reacciones cutáneas idiosincrásicas a fármacos y, en menor medida, están asociados a agentes infecciosos. De estos últimos, Mycoplasma pneumoniae es uno de los más frecuentes. Se presenta el caso de una niña de 5 años, con una necrólisis epidérmica tóxica asociada a infección aguda por Mycoplasma pneumoniae, que comenzó con un cuadro febril acompañado de un exantema generalizado y compromiso de todas las mucosas. Se obtuvo serología IgM positiva para Mycoplasma pneumoniae y una biopsia inicial compatible con eritema multiforme mayor. La paciente fue tratada con corticosteroides, gammaglobulina intravenosa, plasmaféresis y estrictos cuidados para la prevención de sobreinfección y posibles secuelas. Después de 31 días de internación fue dada de alta hospitalaria.


Erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis represent different manifestations of the same spectrum of severe idiosyncratic cutaneous reactions to drugs and to a lesser extent are associated with infectous agents. Among these, Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the most frequent. We report the case of a female patient aged 5 years, with a toxic epidermal necrolysis associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, which begins with a fever accompanied by a generalized rash with involvement of the mucous membranes. IgM serology for Mycoplasma pneumoniae was positive and initial biopsy was compatible with erythema multiforme major. The patient was treated with corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, plasmapheresis and strict care to prevent superinfection and sequels. After 31 days of hospitalization the patient was discharged from hospital.
