Introduction
An adverse drug reaction (ADR) is an unwanted, detrimental response to a medication which is independent of its therapeutic action. Recognition that a medicine’s benet is offset by potential side effects is a paradox all doctors must bear in mind as they write a prescription. This consideration represents an important aspect of the clinical encounter and one which informs the for­mulation of a treatment strategy. Indeed, concern about adverse effects can have a deep inuence on prescribing practices, as physicians attempt to ‘Do No Harm’. While the inherent risks of any medication need to be assessed by the clinician, the patient must have condence that their doctor is aware of potential side effects and will advise and guide them appropriately. The study of adverse drug reactions is thus an essential theme in clinical therapeutics.
Cutaneous eruptions induced as a side effect to drugs account for 15–20% of all ADRs, with presentations which range from mild to severe. This book addresses the subject of cutaneous drug side effects and aims to summarise current knowledge in both the pathogenetic and clinical domains.
Clinical Approach toaPatient withaCutaneous ADR
In a patient presenting with new signs and symptoms in the skin, the clinician must consider whether the dermatosis might be caused by a medication. A distinction needs to be made between the aggravation of a pre-existing skin disorder by a drug (e.g. rosacea destabilised by glucocorticoids) and the induction of a primary eruption as manifestation of a drug side effect (e.g. drug-induced exanthem). The former situation is not uncommon and is an important consideration in clinical dermatology; however it is the specic drug-induced dermatoses which constitute the eld of cutaneous ADRs.
As in any medical consultation, history-taking is imperative when making an assessment of a potential cADR. There are several contextual features which heighten a clinician’s concern about a drug aetiology. The incidence of cutaneous drug reactions increases with the number of drugs taken, while the prevalence of cADRs increases with advancing age. Individuals with com­plex medical problems and who are in-patients appear to be at greater risk for a drug reaction. The presence of an ongoing systemic infection (particularly

herpesvirus infections) may also have a permissive effect on cutaneous drug reactions, irrespective of the anti-microbial medications they are receiving. Studies have demonstrated that female patients tend to be more likely to suf­fer a cADR.
In many instances a cADR will present as an acute eruption, that is an inammatory rash which develops suddenly and progresses swiftly to become widespread. These drug reactions are commonly accompanied by symptoms of pruritus or cutaneous soreness, while constitutional symptoms of systemic inammation (such as fever and malaise) are typically a component of the severe cADRs. Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is one of the severe cutaneous adverse reactions which is, as its name indicates, a disorder with signicant systemic as well as skin involve­ment. However, some cADRs are not explosive in onset, do not become gen­eralised, and are not associated with systemic features. In these disorders, the evolution of skin signs may be insidious and slowly progressive.
Many cADRs have a clinical presentation which is identical to a non-drug­induced dermatosis. The morphology and distribution of weals in drug­induced urticaria is indistinguishable from that seen in idiopathic urticaria. Therefore, assessment of the physical signs alone is not sufcient to implicate a drug aetiology. Nonetheless some cADRs do have both a specic morphol­ogy and a characteristic distribution. An example is the ‘atypical’ target seen in drug-induced SJS/TEN which can be differentiated morphologically from the ‘classic’ target of HSV-induced erythema multiforme. In drug-induced SJS/TEN, atypical target lesions tend to be concentrated on the face and cen­tral upper torso whereas in erythema multiforme the eruption favours acral skin. An understanding of disease-specic patterns is helpful in the approach to a patient suspected of having a drug hypersensitivity dermatosis.
The analysis of skin biopsies also plays a key role in the assessment of drug-induced skin disease. As with the physical signs, the dermatopathology of cADRs is rarely pathognomic but requires careful consideration in the context of the complete clinical picture. Common patterns of inammation are seen in drug eruptions, but variations in cytology or histology can help the pathologist to implicate a drug trigger.
Preface
Drug Causality inCutaneous ADRs
It is important to state that a cADR can only be diagnosed if the patient has taken a medicine prior to the eruption’s onset. Although patently obvious, this fundamental premise lies at the heart of diagnosing a cADR and of identify­ing the causative medication. Moreover, the critical therapeutic manoeuvre in all these disorders is discontinuation of the offending drug, an action which almost always results in resolution. Therefore, the clinical presentation must be appraised in the context of the patient’s drug history.
When identifying a culprit medication it is important to recognise that the process of attribution is, by and large, an intuitive process undertaken by the

clinician without assistance from laboratory investigations. Although there are biological assays which can be used (outlined in the following chapters) imputation of the causative agent normally involves consideration and inte­gration of three variables: clinical phenotype of cADR, drug timelines, and relative notoriety of possible culprits.
To attribute a cADR to a certain drug one must establish that the medica­tion under consideration is likely to cause the reaction pattern. A crucial ques­tion is: does our knowledge of this drug’s toxicity prole conform with the patient’s eruption? Pharmacovigilance studies have given us insight into the side effect potential of most medications. In the context of dermatology this information is rened so that we now have an understanding of the type(s) of cADR caused by a particular drug.
The temporal relationship between drug administration and onset of the cADR is central in imputation of the culprit. Has the reaction occurred fol­lowing the administration of the drug (challenge)? Is there a clinical improve­ment with withdrawal of the drug (dechallenge)? Has the reaction recurred following re-exposure to the drug (re-challenge)? The time lag between rst administration of the culprit medication and onset of the cADR is called the latency period and reects patho-mechanisms underlying the specic drug eruption. This ‘incubation’ time is fairly constant for each of the cADR syn­dromes and helps to identify the trigger when the patient is receiving more than one medication. A drug which has been taken for longer or shorter than the typical latency period is unlikely to be the culprit. When a cADR is being considered, all the patients’ medications must be noted along with the length of time each has been taken. Marrying up drug timelines with latency period of the reaction is a key task in pinpointing the guilty agent.
Along with an understanding of latency, clinicians need to be aware that every drug carries a greater or lesser potential to cause cADRs. This is the concept of relative notoriety. It sometimes stated that ‘any drug can cause any reaction’, an aphorism which is theoretically true but unhelpful in practice. In the clinical setting, the majority of reactions are caused by a relatively restricted number of medications. Drugs which feature as common triggers in the cADR syndromes include the aromatic anticonvulsants, antibiotics, sulfur- containing drugs, and allopurinol. While some drugs have the potential to induce many of the cADR syndromes, other fastidious agents have a pro­pensity to trigger just one or two of the drug eruption phenotypes. Figure1 illustrates the principles in drug causality analysis.
As new drugs are launched the scope of cutaneous side effects will expand both in terms of clinical phenotypes and in the numbers of potential culprit agents. At the present time, it is the targeted anti-cancer therapies which have been unveiled as an important new source of cutaneous toxicity. These drugs use completely new mechanisms to alter cancer biology and consequently reveal novel pathways for drug-induced skin injury. The ongoing explosion in pharmaco-therapeutics will add to the ways drugs cause rashes and in so doing will diversify the practice of clinical dermato-toxicology.

Fig. 1 Illustrates the principles in drug causality analysis. In a case of toxic epidermal necrolysis, the latency period is typically between 1 week to 8 weeks. Drugs which fall outside of this latency period, or are stopped prematurely, are unlikely to be causative. In this example, only allopurinol and paracetamol satisfy the latency, however, allopurinol is the most likely culprit drug based on its notoriety

Classication oftheCutaneous ADRs
Traditionally, adverse drug reactions have been classied as Type A or Type B reactions. Type A reactions are predictable, dose-dependent, occur in all individuals and arise out of the pharmacological activity of the drug. A typi­cal example would be skin purpura or bleeding arising from warfarin over­dose. Type B reactions, on the other hand, are thought to be idiosyncratic, unpredictable, and not dose-dependent. Drug hypersensitivity reactions are responsible for the majority of type B reactions. Whilst this is a simple and straightforward approach, improved understanding has shown that many type B reactions, though immune-mediated, may be dose-dependent and/or require a threshold dose before the reaction is initiated. Likewise, the mechanisms of various drug hypersensitivity reactions are being claried and so are no lon­ger considered idiosyncratic. Similarly, in certain ethnic groups, severe reac­tions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis can be predicted and prevented.
In an attempt to improve on the above categorisation, two complementary
approaches to the classication of drug eruptions are proposed:
