Abstract

ALCON CASAS, Ely. STEVENS JOHNSON SYNDROME, A PURPOSE OF A CASE. Rev. Méd. La Paz [online]. 2023, vol.29, n.1, pp.75-78.  Epub June 30, 2023. ISSN 1726-8958.

The Stevens Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis are part of the same clinical spectrum characterized by cutaneous lesions and mucous membranes with necrosis and detachment of the skin. They differ by the extent and severity of the lesions. Although, there are overlapping cases as in this case, where the patient had lesions in more than 30% of the body. But they were only skin lesions and not mucous membranes, which favored her successful recovery without the need to enter and ITS (intensive therapy service).

Keywords : Stevens Johnson Syndrome; Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis.
