ABSTRACT
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is an acute devastating condition which is related to certain drugs or infections. This syndrome involves multiple organs such as mucocutaneous, respiratory, occular and gastrointestinal systems. Patients who have underlying immunologic diseases are thought to be more susceptible. In lots of case reports and studies, more than 100 drugs have been implicated as causes of Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis, but not so much as in Chinese Herb medications. Recently, we have experienced a patient with Stevens-Johnson syndrome after taking herb medicine and diagnosed as SLE during evaluation and treatment. We report this patient with a brief review of literatures.
