  • Title: Toxic epidermal necrolysis-like cutaneous lupus erythematosus: A series of three patients.
    Author: Cisneros CG, Romiti R, Santi CG, Aoki V, Valente NY, Nico MM.
    Journal: Acta Derm Venereol; 2010 Mar; 90(2):175-8. PubMed ID: 20169302.
    Abstract:
    Toxic epidermal necrolysis-like lesions have been described in the setting of lupus erythematosus, and have been considered as a specific hyperacute variant of cutaneous lupus erythematosus, with features different from classical drug-related toxic epidermal necrolysis. We report here a series of three patients with lupus erythematosus who presented with severe worsening of their cutaneous disease in a toxic epidermal necrolysis-like fashion. We compared these cases with cases reported previously. Based on this discussion, we speculate that some of these patients may have classical drug-related toxic epidermal necrolysis rather than lupus erythematosus-related toxic epidermal necrolysis.
