Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN): an update

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a form of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) a rare but life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions that affect the skin and mucous membranes. The most common triggers are drugs, but they can also be triggered by infections. Granulysin has been recently identified as...
