ABSTRACT
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) are rare but potentially life threatening cutaneous adverse drug reactions. Drugs commonly implicated are anti-microbials, anti-epileptics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Amongst anti-epileptics, carbamazepine and phenytoin are the most common offending drugs. We report here a case of SJS due to phenytoin.
