Cephradine-Induced Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: A Case Report of Treatment With Etanercept.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare yet life-threatening severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR) to various causative agents, including medications, vaccinations, infections, and malignancies, in addition to some other uncommon external stimuli. TEN is characterized by the sudden appearance of generalizeddusky erythematous targetoid macules with a purpuric center, which coalesces to form bullae and flaccid blisters, leading to an eventual sheet-like epidermal detachment of all necrotic areas. Extensive epidermal denudation in TEN is usually accompanied by thermoregulatory impairment, insensible fluid loss, and hemodynamic instability.
