The origin and development may be immunologically mediated or non-immunologically mediated, as the case may be. The immune system is the body's natural defense against infection, made up of white blood cells, antibodies (e.g., IgE), and mast cells that release mediators such as histamine.
In some individuals, the immune system (which normally functions to fight cancers, infections, and so-called foreign invaders) reacts aggressively against a particular medication, releasing in the process antibodies and various chemicals that affect the skin and other organs. These changes vary from minor skin alterations such as a rash, to severe skin destruction (necrosis).
Drug reactions may vary from minutes to hours to days.
NSAIDs (e.g., aspirin), ACE inhibitors (e.g., Captopril), Codeine, antibiotics (e.g., Penicillin, Sulfonamide, Tetracycline), anti-malarials, antifungals (e.g., Griseofluvin), blood thinners such as Coumadin, sedatives (e.g., barbiturates), seizure medications (e.g., Dilantin, Tegretol), and even gold are only a few of the medications that cause a wide range of skin reactions.
SYNONYMS
  • Drug eruption
  • Cutaneous drug reaction
  • Medicamentosa dermatitis
SYMPTOMS
  • Maculo -- papular eruptions-a less severe skin reaction that resembles a viral-like rash (e.g., Measles). The rash appears as pin-sized, raised, sometimes itchy and reddish lesions. There are also flat red patches seen on the arms and upper body. Mouth lesions may also appear. The rash appears for several days (up to 3 weeks) after the drug has been started.
  • Fixed drug reactions -- usually seen in the same spot every time the drug is taken. They often appear 1-2 hours after drug ingestion, application, or injection. The lesions are pink, round or oval patches that may occur anywhere on the skin, and tend to change to a darker color after several weeks to months, then disappear.
  • Hives appear as itchy red, thick, swollen wheals or patches. There may be puffiness of eyelids and lips as well. This occurs within one hour after taking the drug and if it affects the windpipe, choking and difficulty breathing may lead to death. Most cases resolve within 24 hours.
  • Angioedema is similar to Hives but effects deeper layers of skin and the mucous membranes (e.g., lining of the eyes, mouth, and genitals).
  • Erythema Multiforme (Stevens-Johnson syndrome) is a severe skin reaction that starts as red, round patches (target lesions) which spread and join together, form blisters (Bullous lesions), and peel off. They affect the mucous membranes, and if not treated could be fatal.
  • Scaly eczematous rash at knee and elbow bends are also seen.
  • Photosensitivity reactions -- occur in reaction to any drug that makes the skin sensitive to sunlight, causing various degrees of damage when exposed to sunlight (or any UV light source).
  • The reactions may be phototoxic (i.e., the drug interacts with UV radiation in the skin), photo-allergic (in the presence of UV light, the drug undergoes alteration and the patient is allergic to that). Phototoxic reactions, which resemble sunburn, are more common than the allergic variety.
  • Skin necrosis can occur.
