Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: Epidemiology and Risk Factors
Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Research Studies - Year 2023, Vol 3, Issue 01
Abstract
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe mucocutaneous responses caused by drugs that are characterized by widespread necrosis and epidermal detachment. It is essential to know the risk factors and those agents involved in the development of this pathology in order to use them with caution in susceptible patients and to have a high index of suspicion.
