CARBAMAZEPINE-INDUCED TOXIC EPIDERMAL NECROLYSIS: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Asian Journal of Pharamceutical and Clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 12
Abstract
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a life-threatening dermatological disorder characterized by erythematous lesions, necrosis, exfoliation, sepsis, and death. This may be due to different reasons such as chemical exposure, systemic infections, or some reactions of drugs such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, allopurinol, lamotrigine, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In this case, the patient was on carbamazepine for the management of alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Moreover, this might be the reason for the occurrence of TEN. For his condition, he had given corticosteroids, antibiotics for sepsis, and other supportive measures.
