Letter in Reply: Important Points in Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Management
Journal Title: Oman Medical Journal - Year 2019, Vol 34, Issue 4
Abstract
There was a delay in referring the patient to the dermatology team, which was out of our hands, as the medical team saw the patient first and suspected dengue fever since the patient had been traveling and was of South Asian origin. However, after we saw the patient, we started treatment immediately.
