Résumé
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN, Lyell's syndrome) is a severe adverse drug reaction in which keratinocytes die and large sections of epidermis separate from the dermis. Keratinocytes normally express the death receptor Fas (CD95); those from TEN patients were found to express lytically active Fas ligand (FasL). Antibodies present in pooled human intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) blocked Fas-mediated keratinocyte death in vitro. In a pilot study, 10 consecutive individuals with clinically and histologically confirmed TEN were treated with IVIG; disease progression was rapidly reversed and the outcome was favorable in all cases. Thus, Fas-FasL interactions are directly involved in the epidermal necrolysis of TEN, and IVIG may be an effective treatment.
