[Approach to the diagnosis of patients with febrile rash].

The patient with febrile rash poses a real diagnostic challenge to primary care physician. We report an original case of febrile macular rash whose etiology was related to sepsis secondary to pelviperitonitis and acute cholecystitis. Patient's history, careful physical examination, paraclinical examinations and favorable outcome allowed to retain the infectious origin of the rash, without microbiological confirmation in our study.

Stevens Johnson syndrome-Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Overlap induced by sulfasalazine treatment: a case report.

Introduction: Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) are life-threatening and severe adverse cutaneous drug reactions characterized by epidermal detachment presenting as blisters and areas of denuded skin. SJS, SJS-TEN overlap and TEN differ only by their extent of skin detachment.

Case Presentation: We report here the case of a young woman (33- year old) admitted to the dermatological unit for epidermal detachment (at 18% of the body surface area), blisters, red macular and papular lesions, developed 15 days after administration of sulfasalazine.
