Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a life-threatening disease, which is mainly ascribed to drugs, such as sulfonamides and psychoepileptics. In this article, we present a pediatric case of vancomycin-induced SJS and an alternative diagnostic algorithm. The patient presented with multiple target-like rashes and vesicles throughout the whole body after receiving vancomycin. Despite the fact that skin biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosing SJS, the granulysin rapid test by immunochromatographic assay is a non-invasive option for children. In this article, we describe our use of the Algorithm of Drug causality for Epidermal Necrolysis and a modified T-cell activation assay for granzyme B and interferon gamma to screen for the culprit drug. Moreover, we applied the granulysin rapid test as an early diagnosis method for children with drug-induced SJS.
史蒂文斯-约翰逊综合征(SJS)是一种危及生命的疾病,主要归因于药物,如磺胺类药物和抗癫痫精神药物。在本文中,我们介绍了一例万古霉素诱发的儿童SJS病例及一种替代诊断算法。该患者在接受万古霉素治疗后全身出现多处靶样皮疹和水疱。尽管皮肤活检仍是诊断SJS的金标准,但免疫层析法进行的颗粒溶素快速检测对儿童来说是一种非侵入性选择。在本文中,我们描述了我们使用表皮坏死松解症药物因果关系算法以及用于颗粒酶B和干扰素γ的改良T细胞活化检测来筛查罪魁祸首药物。此外,我们将颗粒溶素快速检测应用于药物性SJS儿童的早期诊断方法。
