Erythematous macules

Vesicles Bullae

5

Area denudation : face, trunk & extremities• Severe purulent conjunctivitis• Severe stomatitis with extensive mucosal necrosis

LaboratoryNo specific laboratory abnormalities• Leucocytosis • Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate• Elevated liver transaminase levels• Decreased serum values

Management• Supportive & symptomatic

• Ophthalmologic consultation : occular-corneal scarring (vision loss andsymblepharon)

7

• Oral lesion: mouthwashes & glycerin swabs

• Observed vaginal lesions

• Topical pain/anesthetic reliefer: dipenhydramine, dyclonine, viscous lidocaine

Management……………….• Compressed denude skin lessions with saline/burowi solution

• Antibiotic for secondary bacterial infections
