Abstract

Background: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare disease, but high mortality rates. Therefore, to study clinical characteristics of these conditions are important to early diagnosis and early treatment to improve outcome.

Objective: To study basic data of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic epidermal necrolysis in Maharaj Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital, including symptoms, outcome of treatment and complication.

Material and Methods: A Retrospective chart review of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic epidermal necrolysis in Maharaj Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital from 1st January 2019 – 31th December 2022

Results: There were Stevens-Johnson syndrome 30 patients and Toxic epidermal necrolysis 2 patients. The causative drug of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic epidermal necrolysis were anti-epileptic drug (21.9 %), allopurinol (18.8 %), antibiotic drug (15.6%), NSAID (12.5 %), and sulfa group (12.5%).
