Abstract:
Physicians writing prescriptions for their patients must warn them about possible side effects. One such potential complication of drugs-including tetracycline-is Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a potentially fatal condition that manifests mainly on the skin and mucosal surfaces but also affects other vital organs. Many types of therapy have proved efficacious for treating the syndrome, but use of steroid agents for this purpose remains controversial. Care for patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome consists of treating the presenting symptoms.
