  • Title: A case of toxic epidermal necrolysis with lesions mostly on sun-exposed skin.
    Author: Mansur AT, Aydingöz IA.
    Journal: Photodermatol Photoimmunol Photomed; 2005 Apr; 21(2):100-2. PubMed ID: 15752129.
    Abstract:
    Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a cutaneous, mostly drug-induced reaction pattern characterized by a widespread necrosis and exfoliation of epidermis, involving more than 30% of the body surface area. Photo-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome and erythema multiforme, which belong to the same spectrum of TEN, have been described before. However, there is only one case of TEN limited to sun-exposed areas, which was caused by clobazam. In this report a second case of TEN because of naproxen, with lesions showing clear-cut borders on sun-exposed body areas resembling a sun-burn reaction, is presented.
