Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis is a very rare but lifethreatening form of cutaneous drug eruption. In recent years, several countries in Asia had succeded in preventing carbamazepine induced SJS/TEN by screening for HLA-B*15:02 before prescribing carbamazepine. This study aimed to acquire data regarding causative drugs and HLA-B allele polymorphism in SJS/TEN patient in Jakarta. We acquired data from 5 referral hospitals from March 2015 to March 2017. Subject fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria was interviewed and blood sample was taken for DNA extraction. The DNA was examined with PCR SSOP and Luminex technology for high resolution HLA-B typing. We studied 22 subjects. The median age was 45,4 years old (14-74). The most common causative drug in this study is carbamazepine. HLA-B*15:02 and HLAB* 18:01 were the most common allele in all subjects. HLA-B*15:02 was found in five (72%) out of seven subjects whose condition was caused by carbamazepine. The most common causative drug of SJS/TEN in five hospitals in Jakarta is carbamazepine, with five (72%) out seven subjects had HLA-B*15:02 allele.

Stevens - Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis are adverse hypersensitivity reactions that affect the skin and mucous membranes. They are characterised by erythematous macules and hemorrhagic erosions of the mucous membranes. Epidermal detachments of varying degrees of severity also occur in these conditions. Various aetiologies are associated with these conditions, with adverse drug reaction being the most common. Though the worldwide incidence of these conditions is recorded as low, diverse types of medication are being observed to lead to these conditions. This review compiles information on the details of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, the pathophysiology, therapeutic management, and largely considers the drug-induced etiologies associated with these conditions.

The Global Genomic Medicine Collaborative, a multinational coalition of genomic and policy experts working to implement genomics in clinical care, considers pharmacogenomics to be among the first areas in genomic medicine that can provide guidance in routine clinical practice, by linking genetic variation and drug response. Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe life-threatening reactions to medications with a high incidence worldwide. Genomic screening prior to drug administration is a key opportunity and potential paradigm for using genomic medicine to reduce morbidity and mortality and ultimately eliminate one of the most devastating adverse drug reactions. This review focuses on the current understanding of the surveillance, pathogenesis, and treatment of SJS/TEN, including the role of genomics and pharmacogenomics in the etiology, treatment, and eradication of preventable causes of drug-induced SJS/TEN. Gaps, unmet needs, and priorities for future research have been identified for the optimal management of drug-induced SJS/TEN in various ethnic populations. Pharmacogenomics holds great promise for optimal patient stratification and theranostics, yet its clinical implementation needs to be cost-effective and sustainable.

Steven-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare diseases that appear following the administration of risk drugs. Both are severity grades of the same condition and are considered medical emergencies, because they are potentially lethal. They are characterized by mucocutaneous tenderness, erythema, necrosis and bullous detachment similar to extended burns. We report 3 cases of SJS/TEN in which the etiology was probably drug-related (Paracetamol, Atomoxetinum, Sulfamethoxazolum + trimethoprinum), with restitutio ad integrum following the administration of intravenous immunoglobulins.
