Q

Pathogenesis of EM

A

lymphocyte-mediated apoptosis (direct cytotoxicity)

Keratinocytes: expression of ICAM-I, MHC II, CD1a, CD44 (attraction of lymphocytes, antigen presentation),
b) epidermal and dermal infiltration by T cells CD8 > CD4 (keratinocyte apoptosis),
c) increased numbers of epidermal LC and dermal dendritic cells

Q

Pathogenesis of SJS/TEN

A

a) mainly Fas-FasL mediated apoptosis: due to TNF-a, INF-γ and soluble FasL produced by KCs, macrophages > DCs, T cells; presentation of the drug through MHC of APCs to T cells; genetic predisposition);
b) direct lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity (like EM) by may not be the major mechanism (although a role for soluble FasL has been proposed)-instead granulysin released from cytotoxic T cells and NK cells results in confluent apoptotic cell death of KCs-both apoptosis and lymphocyte satelitosis have been conformed in canine TEN

Q

Th for SJS/TEN

A

Of the cause: e.g. withdrawal of all suspected drugs

Symptomatic, supportive: analgesia (e.g. morphine + lidocaine + ketamine CRI), ulcer management, fluid-electrolytes, antibiotics

Immunosuppressive: no specific therapy has achieved the standards of EBM
a) Glucocorticoids: controversial, perhaps in drug-induced;
b) Azathioprine (D, C, humans)
c) CsA: has been used as the initial treatment (D, C); may reduce death rate;
d) Inhibitors of TNF-a: PTX (D, C, humans); anti-TNF-a antibodies (humans)
e) Immunoglobulin IV (D, C, humans): blockade of Fas; questionable;
