Twenty nine patients were suffering from SJS and 11 were suffering from TEN. Twenty three patients of SJS [79.31%] were treated without steroids. Two patients died [8.7%] and twenty one [91.30%] recovered. Six patients were given steroids [20.68%], out of these 2 [33.3%] died and 4 [66.76%] recovered. There were eleven patients of TEN, four [36.37%] were managed without steroids, one expired [25%] and rest of the three [75%] patients recovered.
