In this episode, Dr. Vincent DeLeo talks to Dr. Eden Lake about outpatient management and follow-up recommendations for adverse drug reactions (ADRs), beginning at 11:28. There’s a lot of literature on what to do for an inpatient who has an ADR, but what do you do once they’re discharged? Dr. Lake reviews the clinical features of three serious ADRs — AGEP (acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis), DRESS syndrome (drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms), and SJS/TEN (Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis) — and provides preliminary guidelines for outpatient dermatology care.
We also bring you the latest in dermatology news and research:

2. Dr. Raymond Cho discusses the promise molecular profiling shows for treating unusual skin rashes. Dr. Cho, a dermatologist and geneticist at the University of California, San Francisco, based his comments on his presentation at the annual meeting of the Society for Investigative Dermatology.
3. Some "slime"-related contact dermatitis is allergic.
