“…158 Finally, the reported erythema multiformeelike drug reactions described with TNF-alfa blockers is intriguing, given the suggestive role of anti-TNF agents for the treatment of toxic epidermal necrolysis and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis caused by drugs. [159][160][161] Once again, we encounter the same dual action of anti-TNF agents exhibiting a therapeutic effect in some patients, while inducing the same pathology in others. It has been hypothesized that the underlying inflammatory disease could constitute an appropriate setting in which immune complexes between TNF-alfa and its antagonists propagate a cytotoxic immune reaction in the skin leading to the development of lichenoid or erythema multiformeelike lesions.…”

“…Subkorneal püstüler dermatozda ise (Sneddon-Wilkinson hastalığı) püstüller büyük ve gevşektir, olay akut değildir (2). AGEP ile toksik epidermal nekrolizisin (TEN) klinik (19,20) ve histopatolojik (21,22) açıdan ortak yanlarının olduğu bilinmektedir. Literatürde, 28 yaşında bir erkek hastada parasetamol kullanımı sonrası TEN benzeri bir AGEP olgusu tanımlanmış ve sorumlu ilaç kesildikten 2 gün sonra püstüler döküntülerin spontan gerilediği bildirilmiştir (20).…”

“…Etken olan ilaç kesildikten sonra, lezyonların yaygınlığına ve hastanın genel durumuna göre antihistaminikler ve/veya sistemik kortikosteroidler kullanılabililir (23). Şiddetli AGEP olgularında kortikosteroid dışı immünsupresif ilaçlar kullanılmış ve başarılı sonuçlar alınmıştır (21,24,25). Hastamızda aktif BCG enfeksiyonu olduğu için kortikosteroid ve diğer immünsupresif tedaviler verilemedi.…”
