Spectrum of offending drugs and cutaneous adverse drug reactions requiring hospitalisation in a tertiary South African hospital in TB/HIV endemic setting
Typical and atypical presentations of SCAR were represented in this vulnerable South African cohort of predominantly PWH. SJS/TEN was the commonest phenotype, and cotrimoxazole the most frequent offending drug. This data emphasises the need for prospective data collection across a diverse African population for valid SCAR phenotyping and drug causality assessment.
