Chinese patients with cutaneous eruption due to antibiotics were found to be positively associated with HLA-BW46 (RR = 2.5; 95% confidence limit 1.2-4.9) and negatively associated with HLA-B40 (RR = 0.46; 95% confidence limit 0.22-0.98). The association with HLA-BW46 was even higher in patients with ampicillin sensitivity (RR = 3.5; 95% confidence limit 1.4-9.0).
