Adverse reactions, including severe cutaneous reactions, to cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators have been described in the literature. Herein we present a drug eruption in response to elexacaftor/tezcaftor/ivacaftor (brand name, Trikafta) in a 7-year-old male with cystic fibrosis, followed by desensitization and successful continuation. A review of the literature outlining similar cases is provided. Attempting to mitigate and manage drug reactions to CFTR modulators is essential because they represent vital and irreplaceable therapies for individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
