<i>HLA-B*5901</i> is Strongly Associated with Methazolamide-Induced Stevens–Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis

Abstract

A strong association was observed between HLA-B*5901 and methazolamide-induced SJS/TEN in Korean patients. HLA-B*5901 may be a useful screening marker for predicting methazolamide-induced SJS/TEN in patients of Korean and Japanese ancestry.
