ABSTRACT
Stevens-Johnson syndrome(SJS) is a rare, life-threatening, drug-induced cutaneous reaction which presents dramatic, unforgettable manifestations. While the characteristic features of the disease are well known universally, many physicians have not seen a case of SJS which may result in delay in recognition and treatment. We report a rare case of SJS, which was initially misiagnosed as sepsis with skin infection and atypical pneumonia on emergency department presentation, and we give a brief review of the literature.
