   Extractions: Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a life-threatening skin disorder characterized by a blistering and peeling of the top layer of skin. This disorder can be caused by a drug reaction most often penicillin or another disease. About one-third of all diagnosed cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis are a result of unknown causes. What are the symptoms of toxic epidermal necrolysis? Toxic epidermal necrolysis can cause the skin to peel off in sheets, leaving large areas that look scalded. The loss of skin causes fluids and salts to ooze from the raw, damaged areas which can easily become infected. The following are the most common symptoms of toxic epidermal necrolysis. However, each person may experience symptoms differently: a painful, red area that spreads quickly

   Extractions: Home Reactions Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is luckily very rare as it is often fatal. It is characterised by blistering and peeling of the top layer of skin. The lesion resembles that of a severe burn and needs to be distinguished from staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome , which has a similar appearance but the blister arises nearer to the skin surface. A skin biopsy is often necessary to distinguish these two diseases. It is thought to be related to a severe form of erythema multiforme , Stevens-Johnson syndrome. TEN is most often caused by an adverse reaction to a drug, but it sometimes arises in patients who are not taking any medications. Non-drug causes include bacterial or viral infection, malignant tumours, vaccinations or no apparent cause (idiopathic). Drugs that are known to cause TEN include: Allopurinol Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) Anticonvulsants (antiepileptic medicines) Who is at risk of toxic epidermal necrolysis?

    Extractions: Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) begins with fever cough , and other nonspecific symptoms, and is soon followed by purplish, bloody-looking lesions on the skin and mucous membranes. These early lesions, typically found on the head, neck, and upper chest, soon merge and blister. Sheets of epidermis then begin to detach from the skin layers below. In time, the entire surface of the skin may be involved, with detachment of 100% of the epidermis. The main cause of TEN is a severe drug reaction. Some investigators believe there may be additional infectious causes. A severe reaction in transplant patients, called graft-vs.-host disease, can also produce TEN. One study reported more than 100 different drugs as causes of TEN. The drugs most commonly implicated, however, include antibacterial sulfonamides such as sulfadiazine

In Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a person has blistering of mucous membranes, typically in the mouth, eyes, and vagina, and patchy areas of rash. In toxic epidermal necrolysis, there is a similar blistering of mucous membranes, but in addition the entire top layer of the skin (the epidermis) peels off in sheets from large areas of the body. Both disorders can be life threatening.

    Extractions: PEARLS IN DERMATOLOGY Paul Watanakunakorn, MD; Robert T. Brodell, MD VOL 107 / NO 4 / APRIL 2000 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE A n 18-year-old woman had a 3-day history of skin tenderness over her entire body and blistering involving 40% of her body surface area, including face, trunk, upper arms, and thighs. Mucosal tissues, including lips, throat, conjunctivae, and labia, were tender and eroded (figure 1). One week before onset of symptoms, she had been treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) for a urinary tract infection. A diagnosis of toxic epidermal necrolysis induced by TMP-SMZ was made. The patient was admitted to a burn unit and carefully handled to prevent further tissue sloughing. Treatment consisted of administration of fluids to achieve balance, nutritional support, oral prednisone (60 mg per day for 4 days), and local application of mupirocin ointment. The patient's condition stabilized over 2 weeks, and she was discharged. Figure 1. Denuded skin with flaccid blisters over the cheeks, neck, and chest of 18-year-old patient with toxic epidermal necrolysis. Lips are eroded and erythematous. Dermal-epidermal separation (below the pigmented layer of epidermis) is evidenced by lighter shade of exposed dermis on chest in contrast to darker tan of surrounding skin.

    Extractions: Contact An Attorney Specializing In Stevens Johnson Syndrome Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is a potentially deadly skin disease that usually results from a drug reaction. Another form of the disease is called Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, and again this usually results from a drug-related reaction. Drugs that have been linked to Stevens-Johnson Syndrome include NSAIDS (non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs), Allopurinol, Phenytoin, Carbamazepine, barbiturates, anticonvulsants, and sulfa antibiotics. In some cases, the condition is caused by a bacterial infection, and in many cases there is no known cause for the onset of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome or Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis. These skin diseases can cause massive pain, suffering and anxiety. People that have taken or are taking medications such as the ones mentioned above are urged to familiarise themselves with the symptoms of SJS (Stevens-Johnson Syndrome) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN). This will enable you to seek immediate medical attention should the need arise, and early initiation of treatment can make a big difference to the seriousness of the disease as this can stop any secondary infections. The aim of this site is to keep people informed about the symptoms, causes and treatment of SJS and TEN, and also to offer advice with regards to the legal options of those affected by these diseases. You can find out more about various aspects of these diseases through the following articles:
