Background
- SJS and TEN exist on a spectrum of disease
- Dermatologic emergency
Causes
- Drugs
- The most common cause overall[1]
- Many have been linked. Common offensive agents include: sulfa, quinolones, PCN, ASA, acetaminophen, carbamazepine, NSAIDs, phenytoin, corticosteroids, immunizations
- High dose or rapid loading of allopurinol[2], lamotrigine[3]
- Malignancy - lymphoma, brain tumor treated with radiotherapy and antiepileptics[4]
- Idiopathic
- Immunosuppression - HIV [5]
- Infectious
- Autoimmune- SLE[6]
Clinical Features
- Often have prodrome (fever, URI symptoms, headache, malaise)
- Macular rash
- +/- Target lesions
- Usually starts centrally, spreads peripherally, and may become confluent
- May be painful
- May have +Nikolsky sign (denude when touched)
- Mucous membranes can be severely affected
- Eye involvement can be severe
- In severe cases, respiratory tract and GI involvement may occur
Differential Diagnosis
- Erythema Multiforme
- Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome
- Erythroderma
- Toxic Shock Syndrome
- Drug eruption
- Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis
- DRESS syndrome
Oral rashes and lesions
- Angioedema
- Aphthous stomatitis
- Herpes gingivostomatitis
- Herpes labialis
- Measles (Koplik's spots)
- Perioral dermatitis
- Oral thrush
- Steven Johnson syndrome
- Streptococcal pharyngitis
- Tongue diagnoses
- Vincent's angina
Evaluation
Work-Up
- CBC
- CMP
- ESR
- CXR
- Examine eyes/mucosal surfaces
Evaluation
- Clinical diagnosis
Management
- Removal of inciting cause if identified
- Fluid replacement - treat shock with IV fluids according to burn protocols
- Infection control
- Wound care
- Use of IVIG, plasmapheresis, and corticosteroids are controversial but may be beneficial
- Evidence that Etanercept (TNF-alpha antagonist) may decrease time to skin healing and mortality compared to IV prednisolone [7]
Disposition
- Admit to burn unit or ICU
Prognosis
Validated with SCORTEN mortality assessment:
One point for each of the following assessed within 1st 24 hours of admission:
- Age >/= 40 years (OR 2.7)
- Heart Rate >/= 120 beats per minute (OR 2.7)
- Cancer/Hematologic malignancy (OR 4.4)
- Body surface area on day 1; >10% (OR2.9)
- Serum urea level (BUN) >28mg/dL (>10mmol/L) (OR 2.5)
- Serum bicarbonate <20mmol/L (OR 4.3)
- Serum glucose > 252mg/dL (>14mmol/L) (OR5.3)
Predicted mortality based on above total:
Score | Mortality |
0-1 | 3.2% |
2 | 12.1% |
3 | 35.3% |
4 | 58.3% |
5+ | 90.0% |
