Abstract
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a severe adverse cutaneous drug reaction characterized by widespread keratinocyte death. Clinically, TEN is characterized by rapidly progressing erythematous, purpuric rash to widespread blistering and denudation of skin and severe mucositis, with fatal complications like sepsis and multiorgan failure. TEN is considered to be rare in infants and usually has a fatal outcome due to sepsis. As yet, only few reports have been documented in the literature. We hereby report a case of TEN in a young infant successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).
