Abstract
- Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) have been linked to adverse drug reactions. Generally, HLA association is phenotype specific and is related to either liver or skin injury. HLA‐A*13:01 has been linked to dapsone‐induced severe cutaneous drug reactions and its role in drug‐induced liver injury (DILI) is unclear. In our series, all of the four patients with immunoallergic dapsone DILI were carrying HLA‐B*13:01 compared to its prevalence of 1–12% among Indians. HLA‐B*13:01 plays a role not only in dapsone‐induced severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR) but also in dapsone‐induced liver injury with immunoallergic features and highlights the role of adaptive immune response in the pathogenesis of both liver and skin injury and associated other organ involvement.
