  • Title: Stevens Johnson syndrome in association with Mycoplasma pneumonia.
    Author: Manwani NS, Balasubramanian S, Dhanalakshmi K, Sumanth A.
    Journal: Indian J Pediatr; 2012 Aug; 79(8):1097-9. PubMed ID: 22012144.
    Abstract:
    Infections particularly Mycoplasma pneumoniae and HSV have been reported to be the commonest precipitating cause for Stevens Johnson syndrome (SJS) in children in developed countries and drugs are the commonest triggers reported in the Indian context. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IvIg) is emerging as a therapeutic option instead of glucocorticoids. The authors report a case of Stevens Johnson syndrome in association with Mycoplasma pneumoniae in a 5-y- old girl who recovered with IvIg therapy.
