Immune-mediated drug hypersensitivity reactions are an important source of iatrogenic morbidity and mortality. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*57:01, HLA-B*15:02, HLA-A*31:01, and HLA-B*58:01 constitute established risk factors and preemptive genotyping of these HLA alleles in patients prior to the initiation of abacavir, carbamazepine, and allopurinol-based therapies can prevent toxicity and improve patient...
