Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis: clinical patterns, diagnostic considerations, etiology, and therapeutic management

Maja Mockenhaupt, MD, PhD

Severe cutaneous adverse reactions are associated
with significant morbidity and mortality. They may be
life-threatening for the affected patient and difficult to
