Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are immune-mediated skin reactions with high mortality as a result of severely compromised skin barrier function. Currently, there is no consensus on the topical management of these conditions. Some advocate for surgical debridement of affected skin as a means of preventing infection and facilitating reepithelialization with synthetic and biological wound coverage. Others prefer a conservative approach that relies on leaving the blistered skin in situ. A consensus is lacking, primarily due to the rarity of the disease and the lack of high-quality evidence supporting one particular form of management. The goal of this review is to explore and compare the two treatment approaches for SJS and TEN, namely conservative management and surgical debridement.
史蒂文斯-约翰逊综合征(SJS)和中毒性表皮坏死松解症(TEN)是免疫介导的皮肤反应,由于皮肤屏障功能严重受损,死亡率很高。目前,对于这些病症的局部治疗尚无共识。一些人主张对受影响的皮肤进行手术清创,以预防感染并通过合成和生物伤口覆盖促进上皮再形成。另一些人则倾向于采用保守方法,即让水疱皮肤保持原位。目前缺乏共识,主要是因为这种疾病罕见,且缺乏支持某一种特定治疗方式的高质量证据。本综述的目的是探讨和比较SJS和TEN的两种治疗方法,即保守治疗和手术清创。
