Abstract

ANDREOLI, M X et al. Progression to toxic epidermal necrolysis by using lamotrigina: In connection of a case. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2008, vol.89, n.3, pp.188-192. ISSN 1851-300X.

The Stevens Johnson Syndrome, the Overlape Syndrome (SSJ / NET), and the Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis are clinical cutaneous mucouse forms due to drugs administration and most frequently due caused by antiepileptic. We communicate the case of a patient treated with lamotrigina for epilepsy, who presented an incipient case of Stevens Johnson Syndrome, worsened rapidly causing a Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis. Nevertheless, the patient gained a satisfactory answer due to high doses of corticoids, which were given from the beginning as well as the measures and the support of the whole medical team of the hospital.

Keywords : Necrólisis epidérmica tóxica; Lamotrigina; Epilepsia.
