Rare case of Stevens-Johnson-TEN overlap syndrome caused by mycotoxins
Journal Title: Revista de Medicină Militară - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Mushroom poisoning is rarely associated with skin involvement. Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are life-threatening mucocutaneous reactions, characterized by extensive necrosis. SJS/TEN overlap includes patients with skin exfoliation between 10 to 30 percent of the body surface area. We report the case of a patient that was assumed to have ingested one type of toxic mushroom within the twelve hours prior to the appearance of skin lesions typical for SJS/TEN overlap syndrome
