SUMMARY
Purpose: Previous studies found a strong association
between HLA-B∗1502 and carbamazepine
(CBZ)-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) in
Han Chinese, but not in Caucasian populations.
Even in Han Chinese, the HLA-B∗1502 was not
associated with CBZ-induced maculopapular eruptions
(MPE). This study seeks to identify whether
HLA-B∗1502 is associated with CBZ- or phenytoin
(PHT)-induced SJS or MPE in a Thai population.
Methods: Eighty-one Thai epileptic patients between
1994 and 2007 from the Chulalongkorn Comprehensive
Epilepsy Program were recruited. Thirty-one
subjects had antiepileptic drug (AED)-induced SJS or
MPE (6 CBZ-SJS, 4 PHT-SJS, 9 CBZ-MPE, 12 PHTMPE),
and 50 were AED-tolerant controls.
Results: For the first time, a strong association
between HLA-B∗1502 and PHT-induced SJS wa
