Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis due to the combination of chloroquine and proguanil.
The association of chloroquine and proguanil is widely used for antimalarial prophylaxis in Plasmodium falciparum – endemic countries with limited to moderate chloroquine resistance [1]. We report the 1st case of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) due to this drug combination. A 34-year-old woman with a previous history of maculopapular skin rash induced by mefloquine in 1995 was...
متن کاملRelapsing acute respiratory failure induced by minocycline.
The antibiotic minocycline, which is used in the treatment of acne, has been associated with various pulmonary complications such as pulmonary lupus and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. We now report a particularly severe case of minocycline-related pulmonary toxicity that was characterized by a relapsing form of hypersensitivity eosinophilic pneumonia complicated by acute respiratory failure.
متن کاملA Case of Mexiletine-induced Hypersensitivity Syndrome Presenting as Eosinophilic Pneumonia
An 82-yr-old man was presented with fever and cough accompanied by generalized erythematous rash. He had taken mexiletine for 5 months, as he had been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy and ventricular arrhythmia. Laboratory studies showed peripheral blood eosinophilia and elevated liver transaminase levels. Chest radiographs showed multiple nodular consolidations in both lungs. Biopsies of ...
متن کاملA case of acute eosinophilic pneumonia. Evidence for hypersensitivity-like pulmonary reaction.
We examined an 86-year-old man with acute respiratory failure. A chest roentgenogram showed diffuse reticular shadows. Transbronchial biopsy revealed thickening of the alveolar septa accompanied by moderate eosinophil infiltration. After admission to the hospital, the patient's symptoms immediately improved without any medication. Clinical course and pathologic findings suggested acute eosinoph...
متن کاملHuman herpesvirus 6 infection as a risk factor for the development of severe drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome.
BACKGROUND Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome is characterized by a severe, potentially fatal, multiorgan hypersensitivity reaction that usually appears after prolonged exposure to certain drugs. Its delayed onset and clinical resemblance to infectious mononucleosis suggest that underlying viral infections may trigger and activate the disease in susceptible individuals receiving these drugs...
