Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare, but potentially life-threatening, reactions to medications. Both conditions have significant morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to document the epidemiological features, aetiologies, treatment and clinical outcomes of retrospectively reviewed data of all patients with SJS or TEN treated from January 20...

stevens-johnson syndrome (sjs) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (ten) are severe adverse cutaneous reactions to drugs. we describe the case of a 19 year old patient with sjs/ten overlap syndrome, who developed severe interstitial pneumonia after she had received antiepileptic drugs. a cytomegalovirus infection was diagnosed by real time polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) detection on bronchoalveo...

BACKGROUND The incidence of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) has been reported to be between 0.95 and 1 per 1000 individuals with AIDS. Accessibility to a cohort of individuals with HIV with known drug exposure (including drug, dose, and time of exposure) and collection of adverse-event information may provide an opportunity to determine an incidence rate of S...

In this paper, we introduce a new class of contractive mappings in a fuzzy metric space and we present fixed point results for this class of maps.

The superminimality of the fibres of an almost contact metric submersion is used to study the integrability of the horizontal distribution and the structure of the total space.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is an acute mucocutaneous disorder that can be associated with considerable morbidity. Several previous reports, all involving either adults with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or children, suggest that intravenous immunoglobulin may be an effective treatment for SJS. We report a case of SJS in an immunocompetent adult whose condition improved dramatically aft...

in this paper we investigate common xed point theorems for contraction mapping in fuzzy metric space introduced by gregori and sapena [v. gregori, a. sapena, on xed-point the- orems in fuzzy metric spaces, fuzzy sets and systems, 125 (2002), 245-252].

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare mucocutaneous, unpredictable, life-threatening drug side reactions. A very rare case of norfloxacin-induced SJS/TEN overlap with uncommon clinical presentation in a patient with a suspected urinary tract infection is reported. The SJS/TEN management with possible treatment capabilities are discussed. In spite of only t...

Erythema multiforme (EM), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are mucocutaneous diseases associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This study compared childhood EM, SJS and TEN in terms of clinical courses, laboratory data, etiologies and outcomes in Taiwan. The initial laboratory findings, clinical presentations, etiologies and subsequent clinical cou...

Background According to recent studies about 1-3% of hypersensitivity reactions are accompanied by skin eruptions. Among these toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and StevensJohnson syndrome (SJS) are rare and the most severe adverse cutaneous drug reactions that predominantly involve the skin and mucous membranes. TEN and SJS affecting approximately 1-4/1,000,000 annually with average reported mo...
