From Dr. Eliot Sorel:
Colleagues,
Please note JAMA of Jan 30th p. 399 on toxic epidermal necrolysis,
in susceptible individuals, sometimes, life threatening. Blood tests
can be
done to identify gene variant HLA-B 1502 in individuals susceptible to
avoid
prescribing carbamezapine in such individuals if need be.
