Findings by an International Collaboration on SJS/TEN With Severe Ocular Complications

Abstract: Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is an acute inflammatory vesiculobullous reaction of the skin and mucosa, e.g., the ocular surface, oral cavity, and genitals. In patients with extensive skin detachment and a poor prognosis, the condition is called toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Not all, but some patients with SJS/TEN manifest severe ocular lesions. Approximately 50% of SJS/TEN patients diagnosed by dermatologists and in burn units suffer from severe ocular complications (SOC) such as severe conjunctivitis wi… Show more

“…International Collaboration on SJS/TEN With Severe Ocular Complications indicated cold medicines, including NSAIDs, as the main group of drugs inducing studied pathology among Japanese patients. Both for Japanese and Korean patients HLA-A*02:06 was implicated, and in Japanese-, Indian-, and European ancestry Brazilian patients-HLA-B*44:03 [67]. Non-HLA factors also may contribute to SJS and TEN.…”

“…We have suspected that a common function of CMs such as acetaminophen and dipyrone is highly implicated in the onset of SJS/TEN with SOC ( Ueta et al, 2010a ; Ueta, 2016 ; Ueta, 2018 ; Ueta, 2020 ; Ueta, 2021a ; Ueta, 2021b ).…”

“…The common function of CMs is the suppression of prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 ) production. We have suggested that the common function of CMs might be important for the onset of CM-related SJS/TEN with SOC ( Ueta et al, 2010a ; Ueta, 2016 ; Ueta, 2018 ; Ueta, 2020 ; Ueta, 2021a ; Ueta, 2021b ) because PGE 2 suppresses mucocutaneous inflammation ( Kunikata et al, 2005 ; Ueta et al, 2009a ; Honda et al, 2009 ); PGE 2 acts on EP3 (PGE 2 receptor 3) in the epidermis ( Honda et al, 2009 ) and the mucosal epithelium such as the conjunctival ( Ueta et al, 2009a ) and tracheal epithelium ( Kunikata et al, 2005 ), and it negatively regulates mucocutaneous inflammation ( Kunikata et al, 2005 ; Ueta et al, 2009a ; Honda et al, 2009 ). We have suspected that CMs including acetaminophen and NSAIDs could upregulate inflammatory responses by suppressing the production of PGE 2 which suppresses mucocutaneous inflammation, that they augment abnormal immune responses, and that they elicit the induction of SJS/TEN with SOC ( Ueta et al, 2010a ; Ueta, 2016 ; Ueta, 2018 ; Ueta, 2020 ; Ueta, 2021a ; Ueta, 2021b ).…”

“…Chest X ray revealed diffuse opacity, more intensive at the basis of the lungs, which correlated with bronchopneumonia. Granulysin and CCL-27 serum markers are elevated in patients with SJS/TEN and can be helpful markers to monitor disease severity, reported in recent studies [12,13,14]. Further research is required before these markers can be reliably used for diagnosis [15,16].…”

“…Approximately 50% of SJS/TEN patients diagnosed by dermatologists and/or in burn units suffer from severe ocular complications (SOC) such as severe conjunctivitis with pseudomembrane and ocular surface epithelial defects in the acute stage. In the chronic this results in sequelae such as severe dry eye and visual disturbance [13].…”
