Medications Linked to Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS)
About the Investigation:
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is a serious disorder which affects the skin and mucous membranes. It can present a medical emergency that develops when some individuals take certain medications. The affected person will develop flu-like symptoms, and then a painful rash before the skin dies and sheds. It can take months to recover. Sometimes this condition even worsens into toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).
Some of the medications that can result in SJS are: anti-gout medications, anti-seizure medications, antibacterial sulfonamides, Nevirapine, some pain relievers and antipsychotics.
