Abstract

Relevance. Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions that can be induced by drugs and are particularly severe in children.Objective. To study the structure of antibacterial drugs (ABs) involved in the development of SJS and TEN in pediatric populations.Methods. Retrospective pharmacoepidemiologic study of spontaneous reports (SRs) entered into the Russian National Pharmacovigilance database during the period 01.04.2019 – 31.12.2023.Results. The majority of suspected drugs were β-lactams (76.0%), with penicillin accounting for 47.4% and cephalosporins — for 52.6%. Amphenicols (12.0%), macrolides (8.0%), and fluoroquinolones (4.0%) were less frequently reported.Conclusion. The most common group of ABs that induce SJS and TEN in children is the group of β-lactam antibiotics.
