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.
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/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 ...
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 ...

Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) which described by Alan Lyell and previously called Lyell syndrome[5]. In this view, EM major, SJS and TEN are considered a single condition, distinguished by degree of epidermal detachment. [3] [4]
Studies on the DRESS syndrome, Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and SJS/TEN overlap indicate that many individuals are predisposed to develop these reactions to a particular medication based on their genetically determined expression of particular human leukocyte antigen (i.e. HLA) alleles or T-cell receptors ...
