HLA-B07:02 and HLA-C07:02 are associated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole respiratory failure.

ABSTRACT: We have identified an underrecognized severe adverse drug reaction (ADR) of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) associated respiratory failure in previously healthy children and young adults. We investigated potential genetic risk factors associated with TMP-SMX induced respiratory failure in a cohort of seven patients. We explored whole genome sequence among seven patients representing nearly half of all reported cases worldwide and 63 unrelated control individuals in two stages: (1) human leukocyte antigen (HLA) locus variation as several other ADRs have been associated HLA genetic variants and (2) coding variation to catalog and explore potential rare variants contributing to this devastating reaction. All cases were either heterozygous (carriers) or homozygous for the common HLA-B*07:02-HLA-C*07:02 haplotype. Despite the small sample size, this observation is statistically significant both in conservative comparison to maximum reported population frequencies (binomial P = 0.00017 for HLA-B and P = 0.00028 for HLA-C) and to our control population assessed by same HLA genotyping approach (binomial P = 0.000001 for HLA-B and P = 0.000018 for HLA-C). No gene elsewhere in the genome harnessed shared rare case enriched coding variation. Our results suggests that HLA-B*07:02 and HLA-C*07:02 are necessary for a patient to develop respiratory failure due to TMP-SMX.

Project description:ObjectivesTrimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX)-associated severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has gone underrecognized. We propose the first disease definition and clinical evaluation for a novel adverse drug reaction (ADR) based on a series of recently identified rare cases of life-threatening ADRs.DesignA retrospective study was conducted. All medical records were evaluated. Available pathology samples were sent to Massachusetts General for clinical consultation. Blood samples from surviving patients were obtained and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) analysis was performed by the Children's Mercy Hospital Genomic Center and Vanderbilt University Medical Center.SettingU.S. ICUs, 1996-2021.PatientsNineteen young patients (10-37) were identified. Patients were previously healthy, with no preexisting pulmonary disease, no other cause for respiratory failure, and no chronic history of smoking/vaping.InterventionsNone.Measurements and main resultsThrough our retrospective analysis, we analyzed clinical characteristics associated with TMP-SMX. Pathology samples were reviewed, and HLA analysis was performed on available samples by the study team or as standard of care at treatment hospitals in some cases. In 19 critically ill patients, we identified a pattern of severe respiratory failure requiring ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and frequent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use. We describe the first three-part clinical diagnosis and evaluation strategy: 1) Clinical definition: Unexplained severe respiratory failure in a patient receiving greater than or equal to 6 days of TMP-SMX at treatment dose (not prophylaxis). TMP-SMX ARDS is a diagnosis of exclusion. 2) Genetic association: One hundred percent of currently available TMP-SMX respiratory failure patient genomic data, ( n = 11) have been carriers of both HLA-B*07:02 and HLA-C*07:02 alleles. HLA allele evaluation could be considered in patients with suspected TMP-SMX respiratory failure. 3) Lung pathology: A unique pulmonary pathologic pattern of lung injury termed diffuse alveolar injury with delayed epithelialization has been observed in these cases. In suspected cases, surgical lung biopsy early in the clinical course could be considered.ConclusionsTMP-SMX is a commonly prescribed antibiotic. However, we find it imperative to share this relatively rare but life-threatening condition with clinicians as the mortality rate approaches 40%.

Project description:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was announced as an outbreak by the World Health Organization (WHO) in January 2020 and as a pandemic in March 2020. The majority of infected individuals have experienced no or only mild symptoms, ranging from fully asymptomatic cases to mild pneumonic disease. However, a minority of infected individuals develop severe respiratory symptoms. The objective of this study was to identify susceptible HLA alleles and clinical markers that can be used in risk prediction model for the early identification of severe COVID-19 among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. A total of 137 patients with mild COVID-19 (mCOVID-19) and 53 patients with severe COVID-19 (sCOVID-19) were recruited from the Center Hospital of the National Center for Global Health and Medicine (NCGM), Tokyo, Japan for the period of February-August 2020. High-resolution sequencing-based typing for eight HLA genes was performed using next-generation sequencing. In the HLA association studies, HLA-A*11:01:01:01 [Pc = 0.013, OR = 2.26 (1.27-3.91)] and HLA-C*12:02:02:01-HLA-B*52:01:01:02 [Pc = 0.020, OR = 2.25 (1.24-3.92)] were found to be significantly associated with the severity of COVID-19. After multivariate analysis controlling for other confounding factors and comorbidities, HLA-A*11:01:01:01 [P = 3.34E-03, OR = 3.41 (1.50-7.73)], age at diagnosis [P = 1.29E-02, OR = 1.04 (1.01-1.07)] and sex at birth [P = 8.88E-03, OR = 2.92 (1.31-6.54)] remained significant. The area under the curve of the risk prediction model utilizing HLA-A*11:01:01:01, age at diagnosis, and sex at birth was 0.772, with sensitivity of 0.715 and specificity of 0.717. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first article that describes associations of HLA alleles with COVID-19 at the 4-field (highest) resolution level. Early identification of potential sCOVID-19 could help clinicians prioritize medical utility and significantly decrease mortality from COVID-19.
