Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a clonal, BCR-ABL1 negative myeloproliferative neoplasm characterised by splenomegaly, leukoerythroblastic peripheral blood picture and bone marrow fibrosis. Different cytogentic abnormalities are documented in PMF which have impact on clinical outcome and overall survival. Del 5q31 is documented in only 0.8% of PMF patients and is associated with poor outcome and increased risk of progression to acute leukemia. Anemia with del 5q responds frequently to lenalidomide treatment. We are reporting case of a middle-aged male who presented with constitutional symptoms, myelofibrosis; and calreticulin type 2 mutation was present. His cytogenetics showed del 5q positivity. He was started on lenalidomide but developed toxic epidermal necrolysis, resultantly lenalidomide was stopped. Skin eruptions are a known entity in patients with lenalidomide therapy; but to date, there is no reported case of lenalidomide induced toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) in patients with myelofibrosis.

Severe cutaneous adverse reaction associated with antiseizure medications: Diagnosis, management, and prevention.

Authors:
Christian Brandt Lynanne McGuire Jack Uetrecht

Epilepsy Behav 2021 Feb 24;117:107844. Epub 2021 Feb 24.

Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology, Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada.

Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) are potentially life-threatening, with considerable morbidity and mortality. They are nonimmediate hypersensitivity reactions that occur in specifically predisposed patients with delayed T-cell-mediated hypersensitivity reaction. Antiseizure medications (ASMs) are among the drugs that can induce SCAR. Read More

The safety profile of hydroxychloroquine: major cutaneous and extracutaneous adverse events.

Authors:
Paolo Gisondi Stefano Piaserico Chiara Bordin Francesco Bellinato Francesca Tozzi Mauro Alaibac Giampiero Girolomoni Luigi Naldi

Clin Exp Rheumatol 2021 Feb 15. Epub 2021 Feb 15.

Division of Dermatology, San Bortolo Hospital, Vicenza, and Centro Studi GISED, Bergamo, Italy.

Hydroxychloroquine is an established therapy for several rheumatological disorders, and very recently it has been proposed as a possible treatment for the new coronavirus disease 2019 even if recent randomised trials did not prove any benefit. Notably, hydroxychloroquine has been associated with a heterogeneous range of cutaneous and extra-cutaneous adverse events. We carried out a narrative review of the literature up to November 1st, 2020, related to the safety of hydroxychloroquine. Read More

A Systematic Review of Efficacy and Safety of Monotherapy and Combination Therapy With Biologic for Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis.

Authors:
Muskaan Sachdeva Khalad Maliyar Marisa G Ponzo

J Cutan Med Surg 2021 Feb 25:1203475421993779. Epub 2021 Feb 25.

8166 Department of Dermatology and Skin Science, University of British Columbia; Division of Dermatology, St. Paul's Hospital, Vancouver, British Columbia.

Background: Biologic drugs have the potential to halt the progression of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) by decreasing concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α, a cytokine implicated in epithelial cell death. The objective of this systematic review is to investigate the efficacy and safety of biologic monotherapy and combination therapy for SJS/TEN.

Methods: MEDLINE and EMBASE in OVID were searched on October 28, 2020. Read More

Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Ahmad Dahlan, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Purpose: Drug Reaction With Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptom (DRESS), Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) are acute hypersensitivity reactions with the potential to reduce the quality of life of exposed individuals. This study aims to determine the quality of life of patients suffering from DRESS, SJS, SJS/TEN.

Patients And Methods: A cross-sectional approach was used to get the quality of life data from DRESS, SJS, and/or TEN patients at Dr. Read More
