Abstract

We suggest adding an additional type of lesion to the existing 4 types of lesions of the erythema multiforme (EM), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), namely “ flat typical target” and call the original typical targets “ raised typical target.” The EM group would consist of raised typical targets and raised atypical targets, similar to the original definition, and the SJS/TEN group would consist of flat typical targets, flat atypical targets and macules with or without blisters. In our proposed modified classification ( Table 1), all the lesions that are found in the EM group are raised, whereas all lesions that characterize the SJS/TEN group are flat, even though they have blisters on them.
