Epidemiology and Outcomes of Cutaneous Drug Reactions In an HIV/TB Endemic Setting

Title: Epidemiology and Outcomes of Cutaneous Drug Reactions In an HIV/TB Endemic Setting
Creator: Konyana, Pumlani Pumelele Stephen
Description: Cutaneous drug reactions (CDR) are the most common adverse drug reactions. The occurrence of CDR most often interrupts the treatment regimen. In HIV/TB endemic settings, severe CDR are more prevalent than mild or moderate forms. Treatment interruption as a result of severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCAR) in HIV/TB patients compromises the efficacy of ARV and anti-TB drugs. Considering the current measure of treatment discontinuation in managing SCAR in HIV/TB patients, and the known effects on treatment outcomes, there is a need to carry out research of this kind in a typical HIV/TB endemic setting.
