Анализ клинического опыта наблюдения детей с токсическим эпидермальным некролизом

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a severe drug allergy. The objective was to analyze the clinical experience of 17 children of different age with toxic epidermal necrolysis. The authors found that medications against infection diseases were the most common reason for the development of the disease. In some cases we observed the delayed diagnosis, therapy without consideration of causative agents, and wrong doses of corticosteroids. The majority of cases require combined use of corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulins, however bacterial complications are possible in some cases.
