ABSTRACT
A patient with arthritis receiving allopurinol for 4 weeks developed Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS). SJS is a potentially life-threatening adverse drug reaction and is most commonly associated with the sulfa antibiotics, allopurinol, NSAIDs, and anticonvulsants. The skin reaction spread symmetrically over the body and involved the conjunctiva. The diagnosis and different models of treatment for this case are discussed. Alternative treatments for gouty arthritis are presented. Strategic planning for novel research opportunities arising from this disease is outlined.
