Abstract:
Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a reactive erythema of nonstaphylococcal origin characterized by a scalded appearance of the skin. The TEN is widely regarded as a variant of severe erythema multiforme because of its acute course, its freguent common cause, its freguent overlap with Stevens-Johnson disease, and its histologic identity. I present a case of TEN with severe mucosal involvement resembled Stevens-Johnson disease.
