ABSTRACT
Este trabalho salienta a possibilidade de a alteração do excipiente de medicamentos tomados por longos períodos desencadear a Necrólise Epidérmica Tóxica. É feita a descrição clínica de paciente de 30 anos com farmacodermia associada ao uso de antirretrovirais.
This work emphasizes the possibility that changing the excipient of some drugs taken over long periods can trigger Toxic Epidermic Necrolysis. This article shows the clinical aspects of a patient who took AZT/r since March/2007. Thus, the suspicion that this drug would trigger Stevens-Johnson syndrome isnt significative. On the other hand, the fact that the antiretroviral vehicle has been changed leads to a strong suspicion that it could be involved in triggering this syndrome. It is reported the clinical description of a 30-year patient eruption associated with the use of retroviral.
