AI Article Synopsis
- Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) are serious skin conditions that cause severe skin and mucosal damage due to the immune system reacting negatively.
- To tackle SJS/TEN effectively, it's crucial to establish international collaborations and a multidisciplinary network for better prevention, diagnosis, and management strategies.
- A scientific program called "SJS/TEN 2019: From Science to Translation" took place in Vancouver on April 26-27, 2019, bringing together clinicians, researchers, and patients to discuss advancing research and improving patient care related to these conditions.
Article Abstract
Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) are potentially life-threatening, immune-mediated adverse reactions characterized by widespread erythema, epidermal necrosis, and detachment of skin and mucosa. Efforts to grow and develop functional international collaborations and a multidisciplinary interactive network focusing on SJS/TEN as an uncommon but high burden disease will be necessary to improve efforts in prevention, early diagnosis and improved acute and long-term management. SJS/TEN 2019: From Science to Translation was a 1.5-day scientific program held April 26-27, 2019, in Vancouver, Canada. The meeting successfully engaged clinicians, researchers, and patients and conducted many productive discussions on research and patient care needs.
