Abstract
The review presents causes and clinical features of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), in children and analyzes the role of drugs as inducers of the illness. The high risk of SJS/TEN in children is associated with co-trimoxazol (sulfamethoxazol + trimethoprim), other anti-infective sulfonamides, anticonvulsants (phenobarbital, carbamazepin, lamotrigine), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs of the oxicam-type. The highest risk of SJS/TEN development occurs during the first eight weeks of treatment with a subsequent sharp decrease in the incidence rate. Certain genetic factors contribute to SJS/TEN development.
