Delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction to ethambutol and isoniazid.
A 24-year-old woman had recently started antitubercular therapy with isoniazid, ethambutol and rifampicin. This therapy was discontinued 2 weeks later due to an itchy, desquamative, erythematous, papular rash, with painful crusts and excoriations, spreading from the face and hands to the rest of the body. 5 days after withdrawal of all drugs, widespread desquamation and exfoliation with predile...
متن کاملRole of IL-16 in delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction.
Interleukin (IL)-16 is a chemoattractant cytokine for CD4(+) leukocytes. Because delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction is mediated by T helper 1 (Th1) cells and CD4(+) T cells can be chemoattracted by IL-16, we have investigated the involvement of IL-16 in the DTH reaction. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed the IL-16 expression in infiltrating cells and epithelial cells in the DTH fo...
متن کاملIs Thymoglobulin or Rituximab the Cause of This Serum Sickness? A Case Report of Serum Sickness Dilemma and Literature Review
Serum sickness is an immune-complex-mediated systemic illness that can occur after treatment with monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies such as Rituxan (Rituximab) or antithymocyte globulin (Thymoglobulin), respectively. Since Rituximab is now being used as an adjuvant treatment for acute humoral rejection and its prevalence to cause serum sickness is comparable to Thymoglobulin-associated serum ...
متن کاملSerious delayed hypersensitivity reaction to oxaliplatin.
With great interest we read the articles of Siu et al. [1] and Maindrault-Goebel et al. [2]. Both report on immediate type hypersensitivity reactions to oxaliplatin, occurring in about 10–15% of patients, mostly after several courses of therapy. We recently observed a quite different presentation of hypersensitivity to oxaliplatin, consisting of severe respiratory symptoms about 24 h after the ...
متن کاملSerum sickness-like reaction associated with cefazolin
BACKGROUND Although rare, serum sickness-like reactions have been documented to occur following the administration of many antibiotics. Cefazolin, a first generation cephalosporin, is a commonly prescribed antibiotic which is considered to be generally safe and well tolerated. There have been no prior reports linking this drug with sickness-like reactions. We report a probable case of serum sic...
