| Abstract |
|
Toxic epidermal necrolysis appears to be a hypersensitivity phenomenon triggered by many factors: drugs, infections, vaccination, radiotherapy and malignancies. Widespread epidermal necrolysis rapidly follows blister formation at epidermal-dermal junction. The case fatality rate is approximately 25%. The disease consists of a prodrome of malaise, lethargy, and fever followed by erythema and massive bullae formation. This paper presented a case of toxic epidermal necrolysis in 9 year-old male patient. The diagnosis of toxic epidermal necrolysis was confirmed by skin biopsy.
