Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play a critical role in cellular protection against oxidative damage. Polymorphisms in three major GST loci have been described. A number of studies have looked for an association between GSTs and skin diseases.To ascertain Glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes play an important role in drug metabolism. GST is a multigene family of enzymes involved in the detoxification and in a few instances activation of a wide variety of chemicals. Detoxification features make it plausible to search for GST polymorphism in
BACKGROUND
Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs) may either be immunological or non-immunological. The precise mechanisms, however, are largely obscure. Other concomitant mechanisms may amplify and/or contribute to the severity and duration of a reaction. One such mechanism could be oxidative

Persons with HIV infection have increased rates of drug eruptions.
OBJECTIVE
Our aim was to evaluate the risk factors of drug eruptions in response to sulfonamides in patients with AIDS, using a case-control analysis.
METHODS
One hundred thirty-six patients who were hospitalized for
