Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the occurrence and factors influencing eye issues in patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) in Japan from 2016 to 2018, comparing these results with a previous survey from 2005-2007.
- A total of 240 cases were examined, revealing a significant decrease in ocular complications from 39.2% to 14.0%, credited to improved treatment timing and methods.
- Key finding indicates that early diagnosis and treatment have led to better eye health outcomes for SJS/TEN patients, particularly with enhanced systemic treatments and corticosteroid usage compared to earlier years.*
