An Updated Economic Evaluation of <i> <scp>HLA</scp> ‐B*58:01 </i> Genotype Testing in Gouty Patients for Preventing Severe Allopurinol Hypersensitivity in Thailand
HLA-B*58:01 testing was not cost-effective before allopurinol initiation in Thai patients with gout at the current price of 1,000 THB per test. However, HLA-B*58:01 testing would be cost-effective if only probenecid was the alternative treatment for patients with positive HLA-B*58:01 results. This result would be useful for health authorities, policy decision-makers, and physicians' organizations in providing the recommendation for HLA-B*58:01 testing before initiation of allopurinol.
