Resumen
PACHECO ALVAREZ, Luisa María; SANCHEZ SALCEDO, Marcos Antonio y SANCHEZ PACHECO, Delia Luisa. Síndrome de Stevens-Johnson: Presentación de 1 caso. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2001, vol.73, n.4, pp.240-244. ISSN 0034-7531.
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is an acute inflammatory disease caused by a hypersensibility that includes the skin and the mucous membranes and that in a severe form endangers the patients life. It may be induced by many precipitating factors, from drugs to infection. The affection is characterized by a sudden morphologically variable rash, accompanied with stomatitis and ophthalmia. An 8-year-old boy suffering from this clinical entity in a very severe form, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, with skin , ocular and oral mucosa manifestations and with other serious complications, is presented in this paper. He had to be treated at the ICU and a satisfactory evolution was attained.
