Abstract:
Two cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis (Lyell) appearing on 69-year old male and 12year-old female were presented. The clinical manifestations of toxic epidermal necrolysis developed after oral administration of novaquing for common cold. The cause of the disease was probably due to novaquing (phenobarbital and sulpyrin). The 69 year-old male was expired despite intensive treatment with fluid and electrolytes, antibiotics, corticosteroids, vitamins, and topical measures, but 12 year-old female was cured successfully with treatment.
