Abstract:
A 22﹣year﹣old female patient received methylprednisolone sodium succinate( methyl﹣prednisolone)for injection( 1 000 mg/d for 3 days and gradually reduced to 60 mg/d for maintenance therapy,IV infusion),immunoglobulin( 20 g/d,IV infusion),mouse nerve growth factor( 20 μg/d, intramuscular injection),vitamin B1(100 mg/d,intramuscular injection),and mecobalamin(1 mg/d,IV injection)for multiple sclerosis. Twelve days later,mouse nerve growth factor was temporarily discontinued and 7 days later,the drug was given again. On day 2 of retreatment,the patient developed conjunctival congestion. On day 3 of retreatment,red spots appeared on her chest,back,abdomen,and forearms. Then the rashes gradually increased,linked into pieces,and spread all over the body. Rashes partly formed blisters,blisters ulcerated,and epidermis exfoliated. It was considered that mouse nerve growth factor induced the toxic epidermal necrolysis. Then the drug was discontinued,the dose of methylprednisolone was increased to 500 mg/d,and at the same time,immunoglobulin,desloratadine,and fexofenadine were given. Twenty days later,the rashes subsided and pigmentation remained.
