| | Stevens-Johnson Syndrome |
| | Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a severe variant of erythema multiforme, in that the mucous membranes (of the mouth, airway, eyes, urethra and vagina) are afflicted with vesicles and bullae. | | | Erythema multiforme (literally, "redness of many forms") is an acute skin condition in which the patient develops multiple red and purple blotches on the skin of the palms, soles, backs of the hands and feet and the "upper surfaces" of the arms and legs. | | | Just about any drug may lead to one of these conditions, but antibiotics and chemotherapy drugs are frequent culprits. |

| | Roujeau JC, Kelly JP, Naldi L, et al: Medication use and the risk of Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. | | | Background: In 1922, Stevens and Johnson first described 2 patients, boys aged 7 and 8 years, with “an extraordinary, generalized eruption with continued fever, inflamed buccal mucosa, and severe purulent conjunctivitis.” Both cases were misdiagnosed by primary care physicians as hemorrhagic measles. | | | The visual rehabilitation in patients with severe ocular involvement resulting in profound dry eye syndrome with posterior lid margin keratinization, limbal stem cell deficiency, persistent epithelial defects with subsequent corneal neovascularization, and frank corneal opacity with surface conjunctivalization and keratinization, is difficult and often frustrating for both the patient and the physician. |

| | Stevens-Johnson syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a severe and potentially life-threatening (15% of cases) disease, it is a hypersensitivity complex affecting the skin and the mucous membranes, a severe expression of erythema multiforme (EM) (and so SJS is also called erythema multiforme major). | | | The most extreme cases are termed Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome (TENS) or Lyell's Syndrome, in these cases the entire skin is affected. | | | SJS is characterized by fever, sore throat, and headache leading to the sudden development of circular mucocutaneous lesions (target lesions) that can cover the majority of the skin. |

| | Stevens-Johnson syndrome - MayoClinic.com |
| | Stevens-Johnson syndrome has signs and symptoms similar to those of erythema multiforme, a condition causing painful blistering and erosion of the skin and mucous membranes. | | | When Stevens-Johnson syndrome is diagnosed within 24 to 48 hours of onset, prompt treatment may shorten the duration of the illness. | | | However, in Stevens-Johnson syndrome, the blistering and systemic symptoms are more severe and extensive — often involving the mouth, nose, eyes, vagina, urethra, lower respiratory tract and digestive tract. |

| | The Morgan Lens - Stevens-Johnson Syndrome |
| | This is a term applied to what A. Stevens and S. Johnson is 1922 described as a "new" disease, "consisting of an eruptive fever with stomatitis and ophthalmia." Although the term "Stevens-Johnson syndrome" has been widely accepted, it is unfortunate, in that the cases described are really severe erythema multiforme with ocular complications. | | | Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a self-limited disease, and if hydration and separation of the inflammed surfaces can be maintained during this period, ocular complications can be eliminated. | | | Many of us have made rash statements that Stevens-Johnson syndrome is due to a drug reaction and as you will see in a moment, all of the cases I present today were labeled in this manner. |
