    Abstract:
    Stevens-Johnson syndrome is characterized by generalized exanthema associated with high fever, catarrhal symptoms and mucositis. Various etiologies have been implicated, particularly numerous medications and certain agents of atypical pneumonia. Stevens-Johnson syndrome leads to death in up to 5% of cases. We describe the case of a 30-year-old woman with bilateral atypical pneumonia accompanied by severe generalized exanthema that required hospitalization in the serious burns unit of our hospital. She was diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson syndrome following atypical pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae with microbiological and pathological confirmation.
