Toxic epidermal injury following intraarterial adriamycin treatment

Adriamycin-induced delayed erythropoietic injury expressed following anemia stress.

The present studies were undertaken to compare anemia-induced erythropoietic responses in femoral marrows and spleens of mice pretreated with Adriamycin (ADR) or 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine with those of untreated age-matched controls. Mice were bled 45 or 120 days after drug treatment. The erythropoietic response to bleeding was quantitated by morphological, gravimetric, and radioiron me...

Toxic epidermal necrolysis following treatment of pseudotumour cerebri: a case report

Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis and Steven-Johnson syndrome are entities on a spectrum of cutaneous reactions that usually occur as an idiosyncratic reaction to certain drugs. The distinction between TEN and SJS is based on the percentage of skin involved with SJS being less than 10% and TEN being more than 30%. They exhibit severe skin blistering and sloughing with mucosal involvement and can be fa...

[Toxic epidermal necrolysis].

Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a potentially fatal dermatological disease. Large bullae covering extensive areas of the body cause continuous exfoliation of skin, which requires immediate medical attention. Intraoral manifestations may precede cutaneous lesions. Two cases with different treatment protocols are presented.
