Abstract excerpt
Administration of carbamazepine (CBZ) causes hypersensitivity reactions clinically characterized by skin involvement, eosinophilia, and systemic symptoms.

The aim of this study was to characterize the specificity, phenotype, and cytokine profile of CBZ-specific T cells derived from hypersensitive individuals. Proliferation...
