Gastro‐intestinal involvement in Stevens‐Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis : a retrospective case series

Abstract

Stevens‐Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are characterized by extensive skin and mucosal membrane detachment together with specific visceral involvement. While respiratory tract² and ear, nose, and throat¹ mucosal lesions have been comprehensively described, gastro‐intestinal (GI) involvement, although previously reported, has been less investigated. Clinical manifestations are non‐specific, including ileus, emesis, diarrhea, hematemesis, melena/rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, or dysphagia.
