Coming soonA hypersensitivity drug reaction is an immunologically mediated or non-allergic hypersensitivity response triggered by exposure to a pharmaceutical agent, representing an unpredictable, Type B adverse drug reaction.
Clinically categorized into immediate and delayed phenotypes, these reactions involve varied mechanisms spanning Gell and Coombs Types I through IV, including IgE-mediated mast cell degranulation, cytotoxic antibodies, immune complex deposition, and drug-specific T-cell activation.
Pathophysiologically, the causative drug or its reactive metabolite often functions as a hapten or directly stimulates immune receptors, initiating localized or systemic inflammation.
Clinical manifestations range from mild cutaneous eruptions, such as urticaria and morbilliform exanthems, to severe, multi-organ, or life-threatening systemic syndromes including anaphylaxis, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN).
