Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is one of the most debilitating side effects which can occur as an adverse reaction to a medication. It results in a severe rash and blistering of the skin and mouth. In approximately 5 to 15% of the severe occurrences of SJS, the patient may die as a result. The patients skin literally burns from the inside out and often requires treatment in an intensive care unit (ICU) or the burn unit of a hospital.
Signs and symptoms of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) or Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome (TENS) include:
- rash, blisters or red spots on the skin
- blisters in the mouth, eyes, ears, nose or genital area
- swelling of the eyelids
- fever or flu-like symptoms
While many medications can cause SJS, the most commonly associated classes of drugs are anti-convulsants, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. An alarmingly high rate of occurrence of the life threatening skin reaction has been seen following use of Coreg, Dilantin and Bextra.
