22
Q

What are the two broad categories of systemic drug reactions

A

Type A: augmented reactions

Type B: Bizarre reactions

23
Q

Type A drug reactions are more frequent than type B accounting for ___%

A

80%

24
Q

Type A definition

A

an expected but exaggerated effect

–too much bleeding on warfarin therapy

25
Q

What is the most common Type B reaction

A

immune mediated hypersensitivity reaction

26
Q

Patterns of stomatitis medicamentosa

A
  1. fixed drug eruption
  2. anaphylactic stomatitis
  3. pemphigus-like/pemphigoid-like
  4. lichenoid reaction
  5. lupus erythematosus-like
27
Q

What pattern is seen with indirect immunofluorescence of lichenoid drug reactions? (Ig?, pattern? antibody?)

A

IgG as a string of pearls along the basal cell layer of the strat squamous epithelium
“basal cell cytoplasmic antibody”

28
Q

Serum tests for lupus

A

ANAs

antibodies against dsDNA

29
Q

How do you distinguish lupus erythematosus like drug reactions from true lupus?

A

Lupus-like drug reaction = circulating generic ANAs + antibodies against histones (NOT true for LLDR to TNF-a antagonists)…true lupus = Circulating generic ANAs + antibodies to histones + antibodies to dsDNA

30
Q

____% of chronic cheilitis cases are a result of allergy

A

25%

31
Q

Perioral dermatitis causes? Idiopatic, but possibly these 3? Also, what is the alternate/more appropriate name?

A

idiopathic, but related to uncritical use of potent corticosteroids on the facial skin, also toothpaste and heavy cosmetics implicated….PERIORIFICIAL dermatitis is more appropriate

32
Q

primary demographic for periorificial dermatitis

A

Women 20-45 years old

33
Q

What process? –> Persistent erythematous papules/pustules/vesicles around the mouth
___% include nasal area, ___% periorbital

A

Periorificial dermatitis
40% nasal
25% periorbital

34
Q

Histologic findings in periorificial dermatitis…what can this be misdiagnosed as?

A

rosacea like pattern: Perifollicular granulomatous inflammation
*also misdiagnosed as sarcoid

35
Q

Contact stomatitis from artificial cinnamon resembles what condition that affects the gums

A

plasma cell gingivitis

36
Q

What white lesion can contact stomatitis from artificial cinnamon resemble

A

oral hairy leukoplakia

37
Q

Lichenoid contact reaction from dental materials is usually what type of reaction?

A

chronic type 4 hypersensitivity reactions

38
Q

What component of amalgam typically causes lichenoid reaction? When are reactions to the amalgam filling more likely to occur - newly placed or old and corroded?

A

mercury…reactions more often occur with old, corroded restorations (you can have an acute rxn though, within hours of placement)

39
Q

“Galvanic lesions”

A

older term for lichenoid reactions due to amalgam

40
Q

Most commonly affected sites by lichenoid contact reactions

A

posterior buccal mucosa

lateral border of tongue

41
Q

Patch testing is positive in up to ___% of patients with contact reactions vs only ___% of true LP patients

A

70%

4%

42
Q

Angioedema etiology (5) (mast cell degranulation, but why?)

A
  1. IgE mediated hypersensitivity rxns
  2. activation of the complement pathway (autoantibodies against C1-INH (hereditary or aquired)
  3. ACE inhibitors (excess bradykinin)
  4. high levels of antibody-antigen complexes: lupus, bacterial infections
  5. Grossly elevated blood eosinophil counts
43
Q

What drug can produce severe forms of angioedema? What race is most strongly associated with this?

A

ACE inhibitors…blacks (3-4x other races)

44
Q

2 rare autosomal dominant hereditary conditions that lead to angioedema

A

both are a result of activation of the complement pathway
Type 1: 85% of cases- quantitative reduction in C1-INH the inhibitor that prevents the transformation of C1 to C1 esterase
Type 2: normal levels of CI-INH but it is dysfunctional

45
Q

A

Caldwell syndrome

46
Q

Another serum antibody (indirect immunofluorecense) sometimes tested for in wegner granulomatosis
