AB  - Stevens-Johnson  syndrome  (SJS)  and  toxic  epidermal  necrolysis  (TEN)  are  severe  cutaneous  reactions  that  are  best  considered  part  of  the  same  disease  process.  SJS  and  TEN  are  idiosyncratic  reactions,  typically  to  medications  or  infections,  characterized  by  cutaneous  epidermal  skin  necrosis  along  with  involvement  of  at  least  two  mucous  membranes.  In  the  past,  erythema  multiforme  (EM,  see  Chapter  64)  was  classified  into  minor  and  major  forms,  the  major  form  being  synonymous  with  SJS.  However,  it  is  now  recognized  that  despite  histologic  similarities,  SJS  and  EM  are  best  regarded  as  separate  entities  with  distinct  clinical  presentations,  outcomes,  and  causes.1
