BACKGROUND Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are life-threatening diseases; however, it is hard to estimate their incidence due to the rarity of these diseases. We evaluated the incidence of SJS and TEN using a nationwide administrative database. METHODS We used a national medical insurance review system (Health Insurance Review and Assessment) database which...

Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) is a complex chronic autoimmune disease of unknown etiology which primarily targets the exocrine glands, resulting in eventual loss of secretory function. The disease can present as either primary SjS or secondary SjS, the latter of which occurs concomitantly with another autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, or prim...

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is an acute life-threatening mucocutaneous reaction, characterized by extensive necrosis and detachment of the epidermis from the skin. The overall incidence of SJS is seen in five cases per million people per year. SJS is typically caused by drugs and is a kind of idiosyncratic reaction. Adverse drug reactions such an SJS have a remarkable effect on patient's saf...

PURPOSE To determine the factors influencing outcomes of Boston type I keratoprosthesis implantation in Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and to compare the results with those of individuals without SJS. METHODS This is a multicenter, retrospective, comparative consecutive case series of patients undergoing keratoprosthesis implantation in Los Angeles, Kolkata, and Manila. Statistical analysis w...

Background Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and its severe variant, toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), are acute inflammatory vesiculobullous reactions of the skin and mucous membranes of, for example, the ocular surface, oral cavity, and genitals. They are rare but often associated with inciting drugs. Cold medicines including non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and multi-ingredient col...

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is an acute mucocutaneous eruption nosologically related to erythema multiforme (EM) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Medications are the most common triggering factors for SJS, with anticonvulsants, sulfonamides, penicillins, allopurinol, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) most commonly implicated. SJS is very rarely associated with tetracycli...
