Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: Diagnosis and Management in the Emergency Department

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare but potentially fatal mucocutaneous emergencies that exist on a spectrum and are most commonly caused by a medication reaction. Although data guiding diagnosis and management remain limited, early recognition, prompt identification and discontinuation of the causative agent, symptomatic management, and multidisciplinary involvement are essential to improving patient outcomes. Validated prognostic tools can further guide management decisions. This review provides an evidence-based approach to the recognition and management of SJS/TEN in the emergency department.
