Anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome, also known as anticonvulsant/sulfonamide hypersensitivity syndrome, is a potentially serious hypersensitivity reaction seen with medications that carry an aromatic amine chemical structure, including aromatic anticonvulsants and sulfonamides. Cross-reactivity is not expected between medications that carry an aromatic amine and those that do not, so medications without the structure can generally still be used safely.
