ABSTRACT
Adverse cutaneous reactions to drugs are any undesirable change in the
structure or function of the skin. These are among the adverse side effects
to common drugs. The most commonly implicated drugs are antibiotics
and anticonvulsants. Cutaneous clinical manifestations are diverse ranging
from mild or moderate reactions, such as urticaria and maculopapular
rash, to severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR), which are known
due to their high morbidity and mortality (among these: Stevens-Johnson
syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and drug reaction with
eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). The clinical pattern, etiology,
prognosis and treatment differ among these skin reactions, which is
why it is necessary a clear diagnosis based on a comprehensive clinical
examination, skin biopsy, and specific laboratory tests. The therapeutic
options depend on the clinical diagnosis. For all reactions, a symptomatic
and adequate supportive therapy is necessary; in some cases, a systemic
immunomodulatory therapy can be useful.
