Stevens-johnson syndrome. how worried should i be at 50 as opposed to worrying about my 7 year old grandson?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SJS: This is an extremely dangerous and has very high mortality rates. If you are unsure if either you or your grandson have this, it is essential that you get into a doctor immediately to be evaluated. This is not the forum to address the seriousness of this deadly disease. First get it seen by a doctor, then all of the doctors on health tap would be happy to provide further insight.
