| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Skin infiltration of different types of T lymphocytes is responsible for inflammatory profiles of nonimmediate drug hypersensitivity reactions (niDHRs). Important chemokines attracting skin-specific homing T cells include thymus activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) and cutaneous T-cell-attracting chemokine (CTACK). Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a potent chemokine attracting CD8(+) T cells. OBJECTIVE: To investigate serum levels of TARC, CTACK, and IL-10 in patients with niDHRs and evaluate the correlation among these 3 chemokines. METHODS: Forty patients, including 19 patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis and 21 patients with maculopapular exanthema, and 21 healthy donors were recruited into the study. Clinical data of patients were obtained. Serum TARC, CTACK, and IL-10 levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Serum levels of TARC, CTACK, and IL-10 were significantly elevated in patients with niDHRs compared with those in normal controls (P < .05, P < .001, P < .001, respectively). The CTACK and IL-10 levels were significantly higher (P < .05, P < .001) in patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis than in normal controls. Patients with maculopapular exanthema exhibited higher levels of TARC, CTACK, and IL-10 compared with normal controls (P < .001, P < .001, P < .05). Serum CTACK levels were positively correlated with TARC levels in all 40 patients (rs = 0.3422, P < .05). Serum CTACK levels positively correlated with detachment of body surface area in patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (rs = 0.510, P < .05). CONCLUSION: These results support a role for TARC, CTACK, and IL-10 in the pathogenesis of niDHRs for their chemotactic ability to attract different T-cell subtypes and different functional severities in niDHRs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
