INSIGHTS INTO SEVERE CUTANEOUS ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY UNRAVELING EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PATTERNS AND CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Dr. Somesh Mehta , Professor, department of dermatology, AMC MET Medical College, Ahmedabad, India

Abstract

This prospective study delves into the intricate landscape of severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs), aiming to unravel epidemiological patterns and clinical characteristics associated with these often serious and complex events. Through meticulous patient enrollment and comprehensive clinical assessments, the research sheds light on the incidence, risk factors, and diverse clinical presentations of SCARs. The findings contribute essential insights into early detection, management, and prevention strategies, fostering a more informed approach to mitigating the impact of SCARs on patient health.
