AB  - Acetazolamide is a sulfonamide derivative and carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used 
      to lower intraocular pressure in glaucomatous patients. Stevens-Johnson syndrome 
      (SJS) toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) associated with acetazolamide treatment 
      has been diagnosed in Japanese, Japanese-American and Indian patients. Herein, we 
      report the second Korean case of SJS-TEN associated with acetazolamide treatment. 
      The result of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing of our patient was positive 
      for HLA-B59. According to recent research, HLA-B59 has been detected in SJS 
      caused by metazolamide, which is analogous to acetazolamide. This suggests a 
      possible relationship between genetic background and SJS-TEN-associated 
      acetazolamide treatment. Theretofore, acetazolamide should be prescribed to 
      Korean patients with the same discreet caution.
