Abstract:
Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) is an acute, uncommon, extensive, and life-threatening dermatological condition, which is caused by a delayed adverse response of the skin to a particular type of drug. Herein, we report a 41-year-old female known case of IgA nephropathy admitted for having TEN after a recent intake of Deflazacort, developed systemic candidiasis during admission, and was successfully treated with oral fluconazole. Early detection of diffuse pustular and hemorrhagic crusted lesions with immediate antifungal treatment in TEN is crucial to prevent systemic complications and enhance patient outcomes.
