Hi doctors, can you tell me what is stevens-johnson's syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite serious: Allergic phenomenon usually to some drug. A good example is sulfa drugs although there are many others. It affects usually the mucous membranes first but can go on to involve the entire body and can cause a rash in which the entire body can become red. If not treated early can be life threatening. Needs emergent attention
