Abstract:
We describe here a patient with severe TEN and respiratory distress and we review the subject of bronchopulmonary symptoms in TEN. Even if pseudostratified ciliated involvement is uncommon, bronchial lesions in the absence of other known causes, should be specifically related to TEN. The mechanisms of pulmonary involvement and ARDS associated with TEN are discussed.
