What is Antiseizure Medications and Cutaneous Reactions about?

Abstract Idiosyncratic drug reactions are unexpected and unpredictable adverse reactions that are fundamentally different from the dose-related adverse effects of drugs. Drug-induced rashes are the most common type of idiosyncratic reaction caused by the use of antiseizure medications (ASMs). Most reactions are mildly to moderately uncomfortable rashes without systemic involvement, but occasionally the rash can be severe and present as erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, or toxic epidermal necrolysis (Lyell syndrome). The ASM hypersensitivity syndrome (AHS), also known as drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), is not common, but is important and potentially life-threatening. All cutaneous reactions to ASM administration must be evaluated promptly.
