Severe cutaneous adverse reactions: impact of immunology, genetics, and pharmacology.

Abstract excerpt

Severe cutaneous adverse reactions, though rare, represent a mucocutaneous presentation of adverse drug responses associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Here, we review the recent literature highlighting the roles of selective immune responses, genetic factors, and drug metabolism in increasing susceptibility of a given patient to these rare and severe reactions. Further understanding of these...
