A comprehensive, population level evaluation of previously reported drug triggers of pemphigus highlights immunomodulatory capacity as a common characteristic by Justin Baroukhian, Kristina Seiffert-Sinha, Animesh A. Sinha

“…FindingsIn this series of observational, retrospective, case-control, pharmacovigilance analyses of the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System, the odds of reporting the adverse event pemphigus were significantly elevated among individuals exposed to 11/36 previously reported trigger drugs namely, gold sodium thiomalate, penicillamine, piroxicam, rifampin, hydroxychloroquine, imiquimod, hydrochlorothiazide, irbesartan, lisinopril, nivolumab, and nifedipine.MeaningEnvironmental exposures such as drugs are relevant players in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases and clinicians who treat patients with autoimmune blistering diseases such as pemphigus should consider performing a detailed medication history leveraging this information regarding deleterious drug-disease interactions at initial evaluation as well as longitudinal monitoring of patients to better inform clinical care decisions.ImportancePemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare, potentially fatal autoimmune disease with pathogenic contributions from both genetic as well as environmental factors, notably drug exposures. …”
