Serum Concentrations of Thelper2-derived Cytokines in Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis
BACKGROUND: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions. Some immunological and genetic factors are believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of SJS/TEN, including T helper 1 and T helper 2 (Th2)-derived cytokines.
AIM: This study aims to evaluate the serum levels of Th2-derived cytokines in SJS/TEN, compare to those of erythema multiforme (EM) patients, and the relation between them and the progress of SJS/TEN.
METHODS: This was a sectional descriptive study conducted at the National Hospital of Dermatology and Venereology, in Hanoi, Vietnam, from October 2017 to September 2019. 48 SJS/TEN patients, 43 EM patients, and 20 healthy controls (HCs) participated. Serum interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-13 levels were measured by using the fluorescence covalent microbead immunosorbent assay (FCMIA) (ProcartaPlex Immunoassay Panels kit, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the serum IL levels of the two groups. The Wilcoxon tests were used to compare quantitative variables before and after the treatment. Differences were considered to be statistically significant at p < 0.05.
RESULTS: 19 SJS patients (39.5%) and 29 TEN patients (60.5%) participated in our study. The mean age was 49.3, range of 19–77 years (47.9% males; 52.1% females). The most common causative drugs were traditional medicine (29.1%), and allopurinol (12.5%). On the day of hospitalization, the serum level of IL-4 in the SJS/TEN group was 3 ± 7.5 pg/mL, statistically significantly higher than that in the HCs group (p < 0.05), but not higher than that in the EM group (p > 0.05); serum levels of IL-5 and IL-13 in the SJS/TEN group were 4.5 ± 9.8 pg/mL and 1.6 ± 0.6 pg/mL, respectively, similar to those in the EM and HCs groups. On the day of re-epithelialization, in SJS/TEN patients, the serum level of IL-5 was 1 ± 2.8 pg/ml, statistically significantly lower than that on the day of hospitalization (3 ± 7.5 pg/mL) with p < 0.05. Regarding serum levels of IL-4 and IL-13, there was no difference between the two- time points.
CONCLUSION: The serum concentrations of Th2-derived cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) were not higher in the SJS/TEN group than in the EM group and there was no significant change in the clinical progression of SJS/TEN, except the serum level of IL-5.
期刊介绍:
Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (OAMJMS) [formerly known as Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences] is a top-tier open access medical science journal published by the ID Design 2012/DOOEL Skopje, Rajko Zhinzifov No 48, 1000 Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. OAMJMS is an international, modern, general medical journal covering all areas in the medical sciences, from basic studies to large clinical trials and cost-effectiveness analyses. We publish mostly human studies that substantially enhance our understanding of disease epidemiology, etiology, and physiology; the development of prognostic and diagnostic technologies; trials that test the efficacy of specific interventions and those that compare different treatments; and systematic reviews. We aim to promote translation of basic research into clinical investigation, and of clinical evidence into practice. We publish occasional studies in animal models when they report outstanding research findings that are highly clinically relevant. Our audience is the international medical community as well as educators, policy makers, patient advocacy groups, and interested members of the public around the world. OAMJMS is published quarterly online version. The Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (OAMJMS) publishes Medical Informatics, Basic Science, Clinical Science, Case Report, Brief Communication, Public Health, Public Policy, and Review Article from all fields of medicine and related fields. This journal also publishes, continuously or occasionally, the bibliographies of the members of the Society, medical history, medical publications, thesis abstracts, book reviews, reports on meetings, information on future meetings, important events and dates, and various headings which contribute to the development of the corresponding scientific field.
