This is a list of drugs and substances that are known or suspected to cause Stevens–Johnson syndrome This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources .
Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a type of severe skin reaction. [1] Together with toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and Stevens–Johnson/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) overlap, they are considered febrile mucocutaneous drug reactions and probably part of the same spectrum of disease , with SJS being less severe.
I was diagnosed with Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), a severe form of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), a rare disease that can be triggered by taking antibiotics.
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), also known as Lyell's syndrome, is a type of severe skin reaction. [2] Together with Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) it forms a spectrum of disease, with TEN being more severe. [2] Early symptoms include fever and flu-like symptoms. [2] A few days later the skin begins to blister and peel forming painful raw ...
The most serious of these are classified as severe cutaneous adverse reactions (i.e. SCARs) and include the Stevens–Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis (also known as Lyell syndrome), the DRESS syndrome, and a not quite as serious SCARs reaction, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis. Any one of these SCARs may be triggered by ...
Less than 1% of primidone users experience a rash. Compared to carbamazepine, lamotrigine, and phenytoin, this is very low. The rate is comparable to that of felbamate, vigabatrin, and topiramate. [32] Primidone also causes exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens–Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis. [26] Radiograph of a rickets patient
The hypersensitivity syndrome is characterized by a rash that is initially rash that appears similar to measles (morbilliform). [2]: 118 The rash may also be one of the potentially lethal severe cutaneous adverse reactions, the DRESS syndrome, Stevens–Johnson syndrome, or toxic epidermal necrolysis.
Stevens-Johnson/toxic epidermal necrolysis overlap syndrome (SJS/TEN); and Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP). The five disorders have similar pathophysiologies , i.e. disease-causing mechanisms, for which new strategies are in use or development to identify individuals predisposed to develop the SCARs-inducing effects of ...
