Overview
Eczema could be due to a genetic problem, or a result of the adverse effect of certain medication.
Causes
- Damage from the enzymatic activity of allergens is usually prevented by the body's own protease inhibitors, such as, LEKTI, produced from the gene SPINK5.
- Netherton’s syndrome, a congenital condition presenting with erythroderma, food allergy, hay fever, asthma, and urticaria, results from the mutation of this gene. [1]
Common Medications with Eczema as the Adverse Drug Effect
- Below is a list of commonly prescribed medications with eczema as the common adverse drug effect (Table 1).
| Medication |
|---|
| Cidofovir |
| Flurbiprofen |
| Olaparib |
| Siltuximab |
| Sorafenib |
| Tiagabine |
