5-Aminosalicylic Acid–Associated Myocarditis and Pericarditis: A Narrative Review

Abstract: RÉSUMÉContexte : L'emploi de médicaments à base d'acide 5-aminosalicylique (5-AAS) peut causer un effet indésirable rare, mais potentiellement mortel qui se traduit par l'inflammation du myocarde (myocardite) ou du péricarde (péricardite) ou de ces deux éléments du système cardiaque (myopéricardite). Il est important d'établir rapidement que l'inflammation est imputable à l'AAS afin de prévenir la progression de cet effet indésirable. Objectif : Fournir aux cliniciens de l'information les aidant à reconnaître … Show more

“…Although not previously described for mesalamine-containing products, Sweet’s syndrome (SS), or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatitis, is an inflammatory skin condition which can be drug-induced. Rare cardiac complications of mesalamine therapy include both myocarditis and pericarditis, which have previously been described 1. We report the case of a patient who developed SS and myopericarditis within 1 week of initiation of mesalamine treatment, both of which resolved with cessation of the medication and concomitant anti-inflammatory therapy.…”

“…Studies have shown that cardiac complications of 5-ASA respond well to simple discontinuation of this medication, further supporting a hypersensitivity reaction [10, 11]. However, establishing a diagnosis of myocarditis caused by 5-ASA is particularly difficult because there are no specific findings derived from laboratory or cardiac imaging that are pathognomonic of this condition [12]. The key features to recognize are the onset of chest pain, dyspnea, or fever shortly after commencing the drug, usually within 28 days.…”
