Abstract
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare, drug-induced, life-threatening syndrome with widespread epidermal loss and mucosal erosions. The classification, pathophysiology, clinical features and treatment are discussed in this review. Prognosis has improved as admission to a burns unit and early treatment of infection has become standard management. The role of corticosteroids in treatment is still controversial.
