What is Stevens-Johnson Syndrome / Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis?

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome / Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (SJS/TEN) is a severe skin reaction most often triggered by the use of certain over-the-counter and prescription medications. The most common medications we see this reaction from are:

SJS is a hypersensitivity reaction involving the skin and the mucous membranes that is often caused by medication, TEN is a continuation of the same disease process; a patient is classified as having TEN when there is more than 30% skin involvement.

The symptoms of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome / Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis include:

If this disorder is not treated at the onset, it may lead to extremely serious conditions such as:

Some manufacturers of drugs known to cause SJS/TEN fail to include adequate warnings on their prescribing labels, boxes, or package inserts. Furthermore, medical providers also fail to adequately advise their patients about the early signs of SJS/TEN and the life-threatening implications if the medical intervention is not sought out expeditiously. Therefore, some patients continue to ingest the same drug even after the SJS/TEN disease process begins, thus, exacerbating the symptoms and worsening the outcome.

What should I do if I have, or suspect I am having SJS/TEN symptoms?

It is very important if you have, or are suspected of having, SJS/TEN that you seek immediate medical attention and stop taking the triggering medication after consulting with your doctor.
