Abstract:
The authors reported one case of toxic epidermal necrolysis that occurred in the carbamazepine treatment in a 47-year old male patient with aggressive organic mental disorder. This case developed toxic epidermal necrolysis while taking carbamazepine with a dose of 600mg/day. Toxic epidermal necrolysis did not improve after discontiuation of carbamazepine. We reviewed incidence and the natural history of toxic epidermal necrolysis.
