RESUMEN
Necrólisis Epidérmica Tóxica (NET) es una rara pero grave emergencia caracterizada por difusa exfoliación de la piel y las membranas mucosas debido a pérdida de la epidermis, mediada por respuesta inmune que puede llevar a sepsis y fallo ventilatorio. El Trimetropin-Sulfametoxazol es un antibiótico ampliamente utilizado que es causa de dicha entidad. El diagnóstico prematuro y el tratamiento agresivo es esencial para la reducción de los elevados niveles de morbilidad y mortalidad asociadas con esta enfermedad. Presentamos un caso que fue precipitado debido al uso de Trimetropin-Sulfametoxazol en un hombre de 22 años de edad...(AU)
ABSTRACT
Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) is a rare but serious emergency characterized by diffuse exfoliation of the skin and mucous membranes due to loss of the epidermis, mediated by immune response that can lead to sepsis and ventilatory failure.

Premature diagnosis and aggressive treatment is essential for reducing the high levels of morbidity and mortality associated with this disease. We present a case that was precipitated due to the use of Trimetropin-Sulfamethoxazole in a man of 22 years of age ... (AU)
