Resumo

O alopurinol, de uso contínuo oral, é o tratamento de escolha para os distúrbios hereditários do glicogênio. Apesar de não ser comum, a reação de hipersensibilidade ao alopurinol se torna um problema quando esta é a única medicação disponível para o controle da doença de base. Nestes casos, a dessensibilização é uma alternativa viável. No presente relato, descrevemos o caso de um paciente com diagnóstico de doença de depósito de glicogênio tipo I, com exantema pruriginoso generalizado ao alopurinol, tratado com um protocolo de dessensibilização oral acelerado. Este tratamento permitiu o uso contínuo deste medicamento sem novas reações em longo prazo.

Palavras-chave

Hipersensibilidade a drogas, dessensibilização imunológica, doença de depósito de glicogênio.

Abstract

Continuous oral allopurinol use is the first-line treatment for hereditary glycogen disorders. While hypersensitivity reactions to allopurinol are uncommon, they can pose challenges when this medication is the only available option for the long-term treatment of the underlying disorder. In such cases, desensitization emerges as a viable alternative. We report the case of a patient with glycogen storage disease type I who developed a generalized pruritic rash due to allopurinol. Drug intolerance was successfully managed using a rapid oral desensitization protocol, which allowed an uneventful long-term use of allopurinol.

Keywords

Drug hypersensitivity, immunologic desensitization, glycogen storage disease.
