A Life-Threatening Case of Torsemide-Induced Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Associated With the Treatment of Anasarca.

Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), along with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), are rare, life-threatening delayed type IV hypersensitivity mucocutaneous skin disorders that can often be precipitated by medications. The most common culprits are sulfonamide antibiotics and various antiseizure medications. We report a case of a 41-year-old Black female that initially presented with SJS, which then rapidly progressed to TEN, confirmed by hematoxylin and eosin stain skin biopsies.
