| Abstract | Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis are acute and severe life-threatening allergic reactions. Their incidences in Thailand may be underestimated due to a lacking of reports. The etiologies of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis are numerous; drugs are the?most important causes. Not only well-known drugs, e.g. antibiotics, antiepileptics and NSAIDs, but also any drugs can be the cause of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis. Hereby we report a 20 years old Thai male presenting with high-grade fever with extensive detachment of epidermis?and erosion of mucocutaneous membrane for 3 days. The patient had taken tramadol. The dermatopathology was compatible with Stevens-Johnson syndrome. The serology revealed positive dengue Immunoglobulin G. The final diagnosis was dengue fever with Stevens-Johnson syndrome.?We report a case of Stevens-Johnson syndrome from tramadol. |
