AIMS: Carbamazepine (CBZ) is one of the most common causative drugs of severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs) including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and drug reactions with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms. Although genetic polymorphisms of the human leucocyte antigens (HLA) are well recognized key elements for the susceptibility to CBZ-induced SCARs, some evidence...
