Serum soluble Fas ligand levels and peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets in patients with drug-induced maculopapular rashes, dress, and viral exanthemas.

CONCLUSION: Serum sFasL levels were not found to be useful in discriminating viral exanthemas from other drug rashes. The significant differences between MPDE, VE, and DRESS were high CD4+ and CD19+ cell-count numbers in VE but low B-cell numbers in DRESS. This might be important for discriminating VE from DRESS, and the low B-cell count in early symptoms might be a useful predictor of DRESS development.
