Dermatology Dermatologists Burns Dermatology Dermatology Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis What is toxic epidermal necrolysis? Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a life-threatening skin disorder characterized by a blistering and peeling of the skin. This disorder can be caused by a drug reaction - frequently antibiotics or anticonvulsives. About one-third of all diagnosed cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis do not have an identifiable cause. What are the symptoms of toxic epidermal necrolysis? Toxic epidermal necrolysis causes the skin to peel in sheets, leaving large, raw areas. The loss of skin allows fluids and salts to ooze from the raw, damaged areas and can easily become infected. The following are the most common symptoms of toxic epidermal necrolysis. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: a painful, red area that spreads quickly the skin may peel without blistering raw areas of skin discomfort fever condition spread to eyes, mouth, and genitals

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) at a dose of 0.75 gram/kg/day for 4 days was initiated; this slowed but did not stop the vesicle formation. Her liver enzymes continued to rise during the IVIg course, and she began to produce bloody sputum. On chest X-ray, her lung fields became progressively more opaque. The patient died on the eleventh day of hospitalization. The patient's medications prior to admission included labetolol, atorvastatin, isosorbide mononitrate, amiodarone, warfarin, ranitidine, furosemide, and thyroxine; occasionally she took acetaminophen, darvocet, and vicodin. She had taken all of these medications for over 1 year. In addition, she was taking phenytoin at a stable dose for 5 years. She denied taking any over-the-counter medications or herbs. To treat her lower back pain, a 2-week course of celecoxib (100 mg orally each day) was begun 18 days prior to the development of the rash. The last celecoxib pill was taken 2 days before the onset of the rash. Because of the close temporal relation between the initiation of celecoxib and the appearance of the skin eruption, and because celecoxib was the only new medication the patient had taken, the etiology of TEN was considered to be most likely a reaction either to the celecoxib alone or to celecoxib in combination with one of her other medications.

Dangerous Drug Eruptions Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) Clinical Manifestations Differential Diagnosis Etiology Treatment Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: Clinical Manifestations With TEN, more diffuse erythema as well as SJS-type lesions are generally seen. Typically, sheets of desquamating epidermis are observed which separate easily with lateral pressure. This is known as Nikolsky's sign. Mucosal, GI, and respiratory tract erosions and bullae may be present, as in SJS: however, more than 30% of body surface area has epidermal detachment. Fever, leukopenia, skin pain, and anxiety are common clinical findings with TEN. Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: Differential Diagnosis Clinical and histopathologic features help to differentiate TEN from: Exfoliative erythroderma: flaking desquamation and diffuse erythema are seen in this patient with an exacerbation of psoriasis. Large sheets of epidermis are not seen separating from the underlying dermis. The Nikolsky sign is negative (lateral pressure does not cause sloughing of the epidermis) Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome in an infant: the epidermal split is more superficial than in TEN. This is appreciated on skin biopsy (frozen section may be performed for faster results).

From The Cochrane Library, Issue 2, 2004 Interventions for toxic epidermal necrolysis (Cochrane Review) Majumdar S, Mockenhaupt M, Roujeau J-C, Townshend A ABSTRACT Order full review View and/or submit comments What's new in this issue Search abstracts ... Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 21 August 2002. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a rare condition where a drug reaction induces skin loss, similar to that seen in extensive burns. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality and there is no clear agreement on effective treatment. Objectives: To assess the effects of all interventions for the treatment of toxic epidermal necrolysis. Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Skin Group Specialised Register (March 2001), the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (March 2001), MEDLINE (1966 to December 2001), EMBASE (1980 to December 2001), DARE (4th Quarter 2001) and CINAHL (1982 to October 2001). Selection criteria: Randomised controlled trials of therapeutic and supportive interventions that included participants clinically diagnosed with toxic epidermal necrolysis were included.

Ask an Attorney Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a severe skin disorder in which large amounts of top-layer skin peel off, often leading to life-threatening infections. The disease is usually caused by a bad reaction to certain types of medications, including anticonvulsants , barbiturates, anti-inflammatory drugs and sulfa. In a third of the cases, toxic epidermal necrolysis appears with another serious disorder. Often no cause can be found. Symptoms begin with the appearance of a painful red area that quickly spreads. The top layer of the skin may begin to peel off, releasing large amounts of fluids and salts. The patient becomes easily susceptible to infection. If not properly treated, the condition can be fatal.

Cyclophosphamide in the Treatment of Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis NIKOLAOS G. FRANGOGIANNIS, MD, ILLYA BORIDY, MD, MOBEEN MAZHAR, MD, RAJY MATHEWS, MD, SUBROTO GANGOPADHYAY, MD, and THOMAS CATE, MD, Houston, Tex ABSTRACT: A patient with non-small cell lung carcinoma and recent radiotherapy for brain metastases developed toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) shortly after therapy with phenytoin was initiated for a seizure. Exfoliation progressed to involve 90% of her body surface despite treatment with high-dose corticosteroids for 5 days, but sloughing and systemic toxicity ceased within 2 days of initiating therapy with intravenous cyclophosphamide (300 mg/day). Reepithelialization rapidly followed. This experience and the reports of others suggest that intravenous cyclophosphamide is helpful in the treatment of TEN. Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a life-threatening reaction characterized by necrosis and detachment of the epidermis in its whole thickness and associated with severe constitutional symptoms and complications. Mortality rates are high (around 30%), and no generally accepted treatment of the underlying disorder has been defined.
