Research Abstract	Severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis) are life-threating diseases. In this project, we investigated to identify diagnostic and prognostic markers using patients’ PBMCs. Patients’ PBMCs were stimulated with causative drugs and mRNA and proteins were collected. These mRNA and proteins profiles were compared to those of non-severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (maculopapular tyoe). We identified sFasL and granulysin are the markers.
