Fulminant hepatitis in primary human herpesvirus-6 infection.  et al. Widespread erythematous macules and papules coalesced into diffuse erythema with scaling in the forearms in patient 1. Clinical signs included a maculopapular rash progressing to exfoliate erythroderma, fever, and lymphadenopathy. Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) Syndrome and the Rheumatologist. Furthermore, an anti–HHV-6 IgG titer of 1:160 two days before admission and on the 6th hospital day increased to 1:1280 on the 16th day and 1:5120 on the 22nd day.  SKTapper  KTakeshita We believe these cases represent hypersensitivity syndrome due to sulfasalazine therapy. Sulfasalazine-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (SIHS) is a serious systemic delayed adverse drug reaction that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Interestingly, it has been considered that the reactivation of HHV-6 from latently infected PBMCs requires T-cell activation.28 On investigation of 4 patients who developed adverse drug reactions but not hypersensitivity syndrome, an increase in anti–HHV-6 IgG titer was not found and the virus was not isolated.  SMukai 5.3 Hypersensitivity Reactions .  Y Seroepidemiology of human herpesvirus 6 infection in normal children and adults.

C. (sulfasalazine) are contraindicated: • In patients with hypersensitivity to sulfasalazine, its metabolites, or any other component of the product (See Composition), sulfonamides, or salicylates. We report 2 cases of hypersensitivity syndrome induced by the use of sulfasalazine.  et al. The patient is a 58-year-old woman with asymptomatic Crohn's disease who, 10 days after initiating sulfasalazine, developed fevers, diffuse rash, pancytopenia, hypotension and hepatitis without a definitive source of infection. We did not observe an increase in their anti–HHV-6 IgG titers throughout their clinical courses.  SP Anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome. Liver and renal functions were within normal limits. 1-4 The reaction, including fever, skin rash, lymphadenopathy, and internal organ involvement, usually occurs 2 to 5 weeks after initiating treatment with sulfasalazine. Get free access to newly published articles. A skin biopsy specimen obtained from the upper portion of the patient's right arm showed lymphocytic infiltration in the epidermis with necrotic keratinocytes, partial liquefaction degeneration of basal cells, and perivascular lymphocytic infiltration in the dermis (Figure 2). The patient was diagnosed as having hypersensitivity syndrome due to sulfasalazine use with multivisceral involvement. Findings from a microscopic examination of a skin lesion on the upper portion of the right arm of patient 1 shows infiltration of lymphocytic cells in the epidermis with necrotic keratinocytes, partial liquefaction degeneration of basal cells, and perivascular infiltration of lymphocytic cells in the dermis (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×100). In 2 patients, we found an association between HHV-6 infection and hypersensitivity syndrome.  et al. Liver and renal dysfunction were found, with increased serum creatinine levels of 141.44 µmol/L (1.6 mg/dL), aspartate aminotransferase levels of 88 U/L, alanine aminotransferase levels of 148 U/L, and lactate dehydrogenase levels of 1892 U/L.  et al. Sulfasalazine-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (SIHS) is a serious systemic delayed adverse drug reaction that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. To confirm this observation, it must be further investigated in other patients.  |   YSumiyoshi Our website uses cookies to enhance your experience.  MOshima  MRThomson To exclude the possibility that the adverse drug reaction was nonspecifically associated with HHV-6 reactivation, we investigated 4 patients who developed adverse drug reactions due to oral administration of phenytoin, allopurinol, and acetaminophen. Sotolongo USA.gov.  SAsano  JJ Anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome. These drugs have a variety of uses and can be classified into antibiotics and non-antibiotic drugs. Mauri-Hellweg et al27 have demonstrated drug-induced activation and proliferation of PBMCs in vitro in patients with hypersensitivity syndrome. Severe, lifethreatening, systemic hypersensitivity reactions such as drug rash with - eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) have been reported in patients taking various drugs including sulfasalazine.  JE Sulfapyridine-induced serum-sickness-like syndrome associated with plasmacytosis, lymphocytosis and multiclonal gamma-globulinopathy. Results from a physical examination revealed a high fever (body temperature, 39.7°C), tonsillar pharyngitis, bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly. Clinical signs include a maculopapular rash that often progresses to exfoliative erythroderma, fever, lymphadenopathy, and multivisceral involvement. Privacy Policy| In 1 patient, human herpesvirus 6 variant B was isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and in both patients anti–human herpesvirus 6 IgG titers increased considerably. Drug-induced pseudolymphoma and hypersensitivity syndrome. They showed skin rash, fever, and mild liver dysfunction, but no mononucleosislike reactions. Yalcin However, these proposed pathomechanisms do not fully explain the phenomenon of hypersensitivity syndrome, which is induced by only a select group of medications. Nevertheless, the patient's skin eruption and general condition showed little improvement, so she was admitted to Tokushima University Hospital, Tokushima, Japan.  PLSokal  MACarrigan Medium-to-long-term follow-up is required even after complete resolution of the condition. It is important to note that early manifestations of hypersensitivity, such as fever or lymphadenopathy, may be present even though rash is not Jarrett The skin eruption progressed to erythroderma, and the patient was diagnosed as having hypersensitivity syndrome due to sulfasalazine use with multivisceral involvement. Eosinophilia, atypical lymphocytosis, liver dysfunction, and renal disturbance are also frequently observed with this syndrome.  DR Susceptibility of human herpesvirus-6 to acyclovir and ganciclovir. National Center for Biotechnology Information, Unable to load your collection due to an error, Unable to load your delegates due to an error. Z Rheumatol. Sulfa drugs (also called sulphur drugs or sulfonamide-containing drugs) is an imprecise term that generally refers to drugs that contain a sulfonamide functional group in their chemical structure.  SMarousek Leukocytosis, atypical lymphocytes, liver dysfunction, and renal disturbance were also observed. We present the results of bronchoalveolar lavage in a patient with acute sulfasalazine-induced hypersensitivity pneumonitis.  MAKnox Autoimmune disorders may also develop as a sequela of the condition. Azulfidine (sulfasalazine) is an anti-inflammatory medication used to treat mild to severe ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Sulfonamide antimicrobials are commonly reported as causing drug allergy and have been implicated in a variety of hypersensitivity reactions including immediate IgE-mediated reactions, benign T-cell-mediated rashes, and severe cutaneous adverse reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms. Betamethasone therapy was discontinued while treatment with sulfasalazine was increased to 2 g/d.  SFOnions Prednisolone, 40 mg/d, was continued and tapered with improvement of clinical symptoms. However, PCR analysis is more sensitive, detecting HHV-6 DNA in 49% to 88% of PBMCs in healthy seropositive adults.19,20 A recent study suggested that the detection of HHV-6 DNA in serum by quantitative PCR defined the border between latency and active viral replication.21 In contrast, isolating the virus is the most reliable method of proving infection, because HHV-6 is rarely isolated from the PBMCs of healthy subjects.22 Our observations of the isolation of HHV-6 from PBMCs and the remarkable increase in anti–HHV-6 IgG titers without the appearance of IgM antibodies indicated reactivated HHV-6 infection. Serum samples from the patients were stored at −80°C until use. In this report, a case of sulfasalazine-induced DRESS syndrome (the acronym for Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) is described. This case demonstrates the importance of recognising SIHS early in patients to prevent re-exposure to sulfasalazine and to ensure timely initiation of appropriate treatment.  RMiyazaki  TSuga Akashi  WRRussler Treatment with 60 mg/d of oral prednisolone was begun on the patient's ninth day at the hospital and tapered with improvement of clinical symptoms. Okuno Here, we report the first case, to our knowledge, of a patient with previously unidentified SIHS who developed a significantly more rapid and extreme recurrence on re-exposure to sulfasalazine. Keywords: Drug hypersensitivity, enzyme-linked immunospot assay, sulfasalazine  DRDrobyski  BJFox Methods: PBMC from 2 patients with severe hypersensitivity syndrome to sulfasalazine, 3 patients with sulfamethoxazole allergy and 5 healthy donors were isolated and incubated with medium only (negative control), 2 concentrations (10, 100 μg/ml) of sulfapyridine, 2 concentrations (100, 200 μg/ml) of sulfamethoxazole, and tetanus toxoid (10 μg/ml) as a positive control. We describe a new case of sulfasalazine-induced hypersensitivity syndrome associated with HHV-6 reactivation and the induction of anticardiolipin and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies. Drug Hypersensitivity Syndrome, also known as Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms is a severe adverse reaction characterized by clinical manifestations including fever, skin eruption, lymphoadenopathy, associated with eosinophilia, leukocytosis and multiple visceral involvement, with 10% of mortality due to development of multiple organ failure. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Treatment with all medications except ketotifen fumarate was discontinued. Over the next 3 days, the patient's liver function worsened. In general, the appearance of anti–HHV-6 IgM antibodies suggests primary infection, while a remarkable increase in IgG titers without IgM antibodies indicates reactivated HHV-6 infection. The clinical features of hypersensitivity syndrome are similar to those of infectious mononucleosis.  TChawla  DE Detection of human herpesvirus-6 DNA in peripheral blood and saliva. Eighteen days after sulfasalazine therapy was initiated, the patient developed a sore throat, nausea, chills, and high fever. These findings led us to hypothesize that severe drug-induced hypersensitivity syndromes have a 2-stage course: first, T-cell activation develops as an immune response to reactive drug metabolites and second, HHV-6 reactivated by activated T cells affects the general condition of the patients and causes infectious mononucleosislike symptoms. One explanation for this finding might be that the corticosteroids suppressed an excessive immune response to drug metabolites and/or inhibited the production of cytokines caused by massive replicated viruses, which in turn induced severe illness. However, the pathologic mechanisms mediating the symptoms resembling infectious mononucleosis have not been elucidated. All Rights Reserved. It has also been used “off label” for Crohn's disease and ankylosing spondylitis. Sumiyoshi  et al. Sulfasalazine is considered to be generally safer than other DMARDS such as MTX and Leflunomide. We would like to suggest possible treatment with an antiviral drug such as ganciclovir for hypersensitivity syndrome, since our observations indicate that HHV-6 infection occurs in a late stage of hypersensitivity syndrome.31. The dosage was increased to 2 g/d several weeks later. No serologic evidence of viral infections has been reported with this syndrome; however, human herpesvirus 6 infection has not been specifically investigated, which could cause an infectious mononucleosislike syndrome. Sixteen days after her first hospitalisation, she was restarted on sulfasalazine and was readmitted within 10 hours with a similar but more serious presentation, requiring vasopressors. Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in patients taking sulfasalazine. Yamanishi The mechanism and frequency of the reactivation of HHV-6 are unknown. No commercial re-use. The clinical features of the syndrome appeared 18 and 32 days after administration of sulfasalazine. Sulfasalazine-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (SIHS) is a serious systemic delayed adverse drug reaction that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Severe infectious mononucleosis-like syndrome and primary human herpesvirus 6 infection in an adult.  GJune  RMBroods  NHSpielberg  RFClark Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were separated and cultured with umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells as described previously.8 The cytopathic effect of HHV-6 was examined with an inverted microscope. A 29-year-old Japanese man with an 8-year history of psoriatic arthritis had been treated with numerous agents, including loxoprofen, cyclosporine, and prednisolone, which moderately controlled the disease. Salazopyrin is used to treat and manage ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease which are inflammatory bowel diseases.  HDPrada  WF Inhibition of antibody secretion by 5-aminosalicylic acid. Danis Leukocytosis, atypical lymphocytes, liver dysfunction, and renal disturbance were also observed. Currently, this drug is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis. See rights and permissions. Many drugs may cause allergic reactions via T-cell activation, but the reactions do not always develop into hypersensitivity syndrome. Arch Dermatol. Some patients may have a similar reaction to Asacol HD tablets or to other compounds that  DJSlaughter Thirty-two days after treatment with sulfasalazine was initiated, the patient developed a sore throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and high fever. All Rights Reserved, Challenges in Clinical Electrocardiography, Clinical Implications of Basic Neuroscience, Health Care Economics, Insurance, Payment, Scientific Discovery and the Future of Medicine, United States Preventive Services Task Force, 1998;134(9):1113-1117. doi:10.1001/archderm.134.9.1113. The presence of atypical lymphocytes and mononucleosislike symptoms led us to examine the possibility of viral infections.  Y By the seventh week of hospitalization, the patient's condition had resolved other than symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. Hypersensitivity syndrome due to the use of sulfonamides and anticonvulsants may be related to individual genetic polymorphisms in the enzymes involved in the metabolism cascade of these drugs.25,26 It is hypothesized that the reactive metabolite binds to tissue macromolecules and causes cell damage or acts as a hapten and elicits an immune response.  et al. 2014 Mar;73(2):180-3. doi: 10.1007/s00393-013-1308-5. J Assoc Physicians India.  AAGoldenberg  MH Azulfidine-(sulfasalazine-) induced hepatic injury.

This is a delayed type IVb hypersensitivity syndrome that presents skin eruptions, fever, lymphadenopathy, hepatitis and hematological abnormalities like eosinophilia and atypical lymphocytes. Isolation of a new virus, HBLV, in patients with lymphoproliferative disorders. 1998;134:1113-1117 ULFASALAZINE IS a common therapeuticdrugusedtotreat inflammatory bowel dis-ease, rheumatoid arthritis,  VAFranic Conclusions: Two cases of hypersensitivity syndrome due to sulfasalazine use were associated with the reacti-vation of human herpesvirus 6, which may be a re-quired cause of hypersensitivity syndrome. A marked increase in anti–HHV-6 IgG titers strongly indicates a primary or reactivated infection of HHV-6.  PCarrigan Laboratory data showed a white blood cell count of 14.4 × 109/L (48% lymphocytes and 3% atypical lymphocytes). Seroconversion to human herpesvirus 6 following liver transplantation is a marker of cytomegalovirus disease.  PM Circulating cytokine levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: results of a double blind trial with sulphasalazine. We report a case in a 63-year-old woman who had been on sulfasalazine for 2 months to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Although the 3 reported cases were described as primary HHV-6 infection, the possibility of reactivated HHV-6 could not be excluded because of an absent or low anti–HHV-6 IgM response.24 If the infectious mononucleosislike syndrome was precipitated by reactivated HHV-6 infection, possible causes of the reactivation were not delineated.  DJ Primary human herpesvirus 6 infection in an adult. Antibody titers against HHV-7, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, rubella, adenovirus, and toxoplasma did not change throughout the clinical course. Sulfasalazine is contraindicated in patients with porphyria, urinary or intestinal obstruction, and hypersensitivity to sulfasalazine, its metabolites, sulfonamides, or salicylates. • In patients with intestinal and urinary obstructions. Results from a physical examination revealed tender generalized lymphadenopathy. It seems likely that the reactivation of HHV-6 is specific to hypersensitivity syndrome. Common side effects of Azulfidine include gastrointestinal disturbances, headache, allergic reactions, rash when exposed to sunlight, and changes in skin or urine color. Carrigan Red papules appeared on her abdominal skin and rapidly progressed over her whole body. 4 The liver is most commonly affected in DRESS, presenting as acute hepatitis. HHS 1992 Jan;31(1):108-13. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.31.108. A severe adverse reaction to sulfasalazine therapy has been associated with hypersensitivity syndrome, the clinical features of which are similar to infectious mononucleosis. Here, we report the first case, to our knowledge, of a patient with previously unidentified SIHS who developed a significantly more rapid and extreme recurrence on re-exposure to sulfasalazine. We describe 2 patients who experienced the sudden onset of severe infectious mononucleosislike illness 18 and 32 days after the initiation of therapy with sulfasalazine. Sulfasalazine is an anti-inflammatory medication consisting of a combination of 5-aminosalicylic acid and the sulphonamide sulfapyridine. A severe adverse reaction to sulfasalazine therapy has been associated with hypersensitivity syndrome, the clinical features of which are similar to infectious mononucleosis.  GI Analysis of interstrain variation in a putative immediate-early region of human herpesvirus 6 DNA and definition of variant-specific sequences. Han Therefore, sulfasalazine is contraindicated in patients with sulfasalazine hypersensitivity, salicylate hypersensitivity, sulfonamide hypersensitivity, and 5-aminosalicylates hypersensitivity. Edema of the face was also present. Medium-to-long-term follow-up is required even after complete resolution of the condition. A severe adverse reaction to sulfasalazine has been identified as a type of hypersensitivity syndrome. Oral sulfasalazine inhibits the absorption and metabolism of folic acid and may cause folic acid deficiency, potentially resulting in serious blood disorders (e.g.  DALaurent DRESS (Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) is a drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome that can mimic malignant lymphoma. The patient's skin was covered with erythematous macules and papules and scattered petechiae.  RSTedesco : 2 Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Allergy and Clinical Immunolgy Research Group, Chulalongkorn …  KBalachandra The investigation for infectious mononucleosis yielded negative results and a diagnosis of sulfasalazine-induced hypersensitivity syndrome was confirmed using enzyme-linked immunospot assays.  |   MF The clinical features of the syndrome appeared 18 and 32 days after administration of sulfasalazine. drugs and medicines; immunology; intensive care. Sobue We describe a new case of sulfasalazine-induced hypersensitivity syndrome associated with HHV-6 reactivation and the induction of anticardiolipin and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies. It should be noted that the patients' clinical conditions improved with the use of systemic corticosteroids. Accessibility Statement. NLM  et al.  MEizuru  Y T-cell immune response to human herpesvirus-6 in healthy adults.  MKobayashi The DNA was detected from frozen skin specimens obtained on the patient's 19th hospital day, but not from paraffin-embedded skin specimens obtained on the 6th day.  et al. © 2020 American Medical Association.  CHunziker Sulfasalazine has also been used for some skin conditions. This observation suggests active replication of the virus after the initiation of clinical symptoms. The antibody titers against HHV-7, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, measles, adenovirus, and toxoplasma were within normal ranges throughout the patient's clinical course. Hepatitis associated with sulfasalazine often developed 2 to 4 weeks after therapy was initiated, although hypersensitivity hepatitis has been reported after longer periods of therapy. Human herpesvirus 6 has been identified as the cause of exanthem subitum.14 Most people are infected with HHV-6 in early childhood. Effects on folic acid. Epub 2013 Apr 4.  SPGrant Human herpesvirus 6 was isolated from PBMCs obtained on the eighth hospital day and identified as HHV-6 variant B by PCR (Figure 3).  RPSchloemann Observations  We suggest that HHV-6 infection may be a required cause of hypersensitivity syndrome. Facial edema was also present. Anti–HHV-6 IgM titers were negative in these samples.  |  A 22-year-old Japanese woman who presented with abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea was diagnosed as having ulcerative colitis.  W Differences in metabolism of sulfonamides predisposing to idiosyncratic toxicity.  BKKalow It works to slowly reduce the swelling and stiffness in your joints.  KEizuru Isolated virus was identified with immunofluorescence assay using anti–HHV-6 monoclonal antibody and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay.  JTedder S Arch Dermatol. Kanner Several methods may be used to confirm HHV-6 infection, including measurement of anti–HHV-6 titers, PCR analysis, and isolation of HHV-6. Sulfasalazine is contraindicated in: Infants under the age of 2 years. Secchiero A drug-associated hypersensitivity syndrome has been reported with administration of sulfasalazine, anticonvulsants, dapsone, allopurinol, and several other medications.1-4,12,13 Its clinical features resemble those of infectious mononucleosis and appear 2 to 5 weeks after administration of the drugs. Recently, a severe infectious mononucleosislike syndrome was reported to be caused by human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection in immunocompetent adults.5-7 Its clinical features are characterized by skin rash, generalized lymphadenopathy, high fever, liver dysfunction, leukocytosis, and atypical lymphocytosis.
