[1] Antibiotics such as sulfonamides, isoniazid, ciprofloxacin, penicillin [2] Antiepileptic drugs such as Carbamazepine and Lamotrigine [2] Phenazopyridine [2]
However, IL-1 knockout and IL-6 knockout hosts (whose myeloid cells are deficient in IL-1 and IL-6, respectively) were susceptible to CRS after the administration of wild-type CAR-T cells. [14] It is thought this may be because while blockade of IL-1 and IL-6 are myeloid-derived cytokines are thus too far downstream of the inflammatory cascade.
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), also known as Lyell's syndrome, is a type of severe skin reaction. [2] Together with Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) it forms a spectrum of disease, with TEN being more severe. [2] Early symptoms include fever and flu-like symptoms. [2] A few days later the skin begins to blister and peel forming painful raw ...
