A member asked:
Can a person that's had steven johnson syndrome from a barbiturate ever receive a barbiturate again like for status epileptus if they need it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Define StevensJohnso: Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) has a large variation in severity. That's assuming that the original reaction WAS SJS & not hives. (Did skin fall off?) Also, are you sure it was the barbs that did it? If life-threatening SJS to barbs is confirmed, the only way to reintroduce barbiturates is to desensitize the patient 1st. In status epilepticus (an emergency), you don't have the time to desensitize.
