Plasmapheresis in toxic epidermal necrolysis

International Journal of Dermatology, 1997
Abstract Background The treatment of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is usually based on the removal of the offending drug(s), fluid replacement, nutritional support, and local management. The mortality and morbidity, however, remain high and the death rate may be reduced to 10% only in special centers that use biologic dressings. Plasma exchange (PE)

Toxic epidermal necrolysis

Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2013
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are life-threatening severe adverse drug reactions. Once thought to be idiosyncratic and unpredictable, there has been significant progress made in the understanding of the pathomechanism and pharmacogenetics of such reactions.

1coined the term necrolysis to describe four clinical cases characterised pathologically by necrosis of the epidermis, and clinically by widespread epidermolysis—a loosening of the epidermis leading to blister formation, exfoliation, or both.

Management of toxic epidermal necrolysis

Hospital Medicine, 2000
Toxic epidermal necrolysis and Stevens–Johnson syndrome are rare, life-threatening drug reactions. Widespread epidermal necrosis and mucosal erosions lead to complications similar to those developing after extensive burns. Treatment is supportive. The role of steroids and other potential disease-modifying agents remains to be established by controlled ...

Advances in toxic epidermal necrolysis

Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 1996
On the basis of the clinicopathologic and causative characteristics, one can separate an erythema multiformis spectrum from a toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)-Stevens Johnson syndrome which is a drug induced disease. Despite a well-known clinical aspect, several cutaneous diseases may be mistaken for TEN.

The management of toxic epidermal necrolysis

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 2012
ABSTRACTThe mortality rate of Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is high; approximately 5% for SJS and 25% for TEN. It is therefore vital for the treating physician to recognise SJS and TEN promptly through the identification of these diseases' characteristic clinical features so that the offending drug is promptly ...
