BACKGROUND: Evidence is lacking on the association between antibiotic use and risk of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) in Asians.

OBJECTIVE: We assessed the risk of SJS/TEN associated with different antibiotic classes in Japanese.

METHODS: We conducted a case-crossover study using a claims database. Firth conditional logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of SJS/TEN associated with antibiotic use in a 56-day hazard period versus 3 control periods. We created 18 cohorts for each antibiotic class and calculated 56-day cumulative incidence per 100,000 new users. The association between antibiotic class and SJS/TEN was also evaluated in each case using the ALgorithm of Drug causality for Epidermal Necrolysis (ALDEN).

RESULTS: Our case-crossover study included 170 SJS/TEN cases. Increased ORs were observed for lincomycins (OR, 33.00 [95% CI, 3.74-4332.05]), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (21.20 [6.73-105.98]), penicillins (14.39 [6.95-34.21]), glycopeptides (14.37 [3.17-136.10]), cephalosporins (7.06 [4.25-12.21]), aminoglycosides (6.55 [1.97-26.84]), quinolones (5.98 [3.34-11.20]), fosfomycin (5.40 [1.20-30.97]), carbapenems (5.09 [1.85-15.64]), tetracyclines (4.95 [1.78-15.27]), and macrolides (3.78 [2.13-6.83]). Cumulative incidence of SJS/TEN was 67.4 for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, 86.2 for glycopeptides, and below 10.0 for the others. Despite the high incidence, only 2 cases had a probable causal relationship with glycopeptides.

CONCLUSION: Some antibiotic classes, including lincomycins, glycopeptides, aminoglycosides, fosfomycin, and carbapenems, were newly suggested to be associated with risk of SJS/TEN; considered together with the high incidence for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and glycopeptides, these findings warrant caution in clinical practice.
