Background: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are considered a spectrum of acute life-threatening mucocutaneous reactions that differ only in severity. Both diseases are characterized by mucous membrane and skin involvement, are often caused by medications, and are collectively known as epidermal necrolysis (EN).
Methods: A severity of illness score has been devised to predict prognosis in patients with EN.
