Selective T cell defects induced by dopamine administration in mice.

Dopamine administration in BALB/c mice depressed the overall delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction to sheep red blood cells, the mixed-lymphocyte culture responses, the generation of cytotoxic T cells, and the number of spleen T cell populations. Conversely, dopamine enhanced concanavalin A stimulation of spleen cells, and had no effect on stimulation by PHA, on total spleen and thymus cell number, and on distribution of thymus Ly-t1+ or Ly-t2+ cell subsets. These results indicate that dopamine produces selective T cell defects probably mediated by a direct peripheral action of the drug on subsets of T lymphocytes.

[The Stevens-Johnson syndrome from maprotiline and propranolol?].

A wide variety of agents have been associated with erythema multiforme, particularly drugs and infectious agents. We describe a typical Stevens-Johnson's syndrome developing 15 days after initiation of propranolol and maprotiline therapy. Other etiologies have been excluded by appropriate investigations and the responsibility of each drug is discussed.
