Abstract
This report describes a case of multisystem failure in a B-year-old boy who was being treated with carbamazepine for a seizure disorder. Carbamazepine hypersensitivity was diagnosed from the combination of the clinical conste llation and the results of the patient's peripheral blood monocyte prolifer ation responses to both carbamazepine and a panel of other medications.
