Abstract
D-penicillamine is used as the mainstay of chelation therapy for Wilson's disease and for heavy metal intoxication. D-penicillamine itself has been noted to cause several systemic side effects as well as symptoms related to the skin. Common cutaneous side effects such as acute hypersensitivity reactions, elastic fiber abnormalities, and bullous diseases have been occasionally described. Herein, we report a case of a 23-year-old Thai female with gold intoxication who developed Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) following the treatment of D-penicillamine. To our knowledge, D-penicillamine-induced SJS is exceptionally rare. To raise awareness of potentially fatal cutaneous adverse drug reaction triggered by D-penicillamine, published literature regarding SJS induced by this agent has also been reviewed. D-penicillamine should be regarded as a possible culprit in patients presenting with SJS following D-penicillamine administration and should be promptly discontinued.
期刊介绍：
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the latest clinical and experimental research in all aspects of skin disease and cosmetic interventions. Normal and pathological processes in skin development and aging, their modification and treatment, as well as basic research into histology of dermal and dermal structures that provide clinical insights and potential treatment options are key topics for the journal.
Patient satisfaction, preference, quality of life, compliance, persistence and their role in developing new management options to optimize outcomes for target conditions constitute major areas of interest.
The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of clinical studies, reviews and original research in skin research and skin care.
All areas of dermatology will be covered; contributions will be welcomed from all clinicians and basic science researchers globally.
