One of the most dangerous dermatologic emergencies is Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Although a rare disease, it can often lead to significant mortality.
In this case report, we present a 77-year-old man who developed a sloughing rash that was secondary to a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. In addition to the recommended supportive care, the patient was treated with etanercept, a new, less commonly used intervention.
We provide a brief review of SJS/TEN. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are a rare cause of SJS/TEN, and additionally, the use of biologics is a novel treatment modality for SJS/TEN.
史蒂文斯-约翰逊综合征(SJS)/中毒性表皮坏死松解症(TEN)是最危险的皮肤科急症之一。尽管是一种罕见疾病,但它常常会导致较高的死亡率。
在本病例报告中,我们介绍了一名77岁男性,他因非甾体抗炎药引发了脱皮性皮疹。除了推荐的支持性治疗外,该患者还接受了依那西普治疗,这是一种新的、较少使用的干预措施。
我们简要回顾了SJS/TEN。非甾体抗炎药是SJS/TEN的罕见病因,此外,生物制剂的使用是SJS/TEN的一种新型治疗方式。
