“…Finally, acute respiratory failure may occur with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or plasmapheresis treatment administered in intractable cases of SJS or TEN due to transfusionrelated acute lung injury (TRALI). 40,41 TRALI usually occurs within 6 hours after the end of transfusion. Differentiating TRALI from ARDS is challenging given the similarity of clinical symptoms and absence of investigations that can reliably ª 2021 the International Society of Dermatology discriminate these conditions.…”

In the recently published guidelines by the Society of Dermatology Hospitalists on the management of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), a brief section was included on airway management. These recommendations provide an easy reference on how to manage respiratory complications of the disease. Understanding the evidence that underlies these recommendations would offer physicians greater clarity on the considerations behind every decision and treatment offered. We present a review of the literature on respiratory manifestations associated with SJS and TEN. In addition, we aim to address specific concerns regarding the respiratory management of these patients.These include issues such as the indications and optimal timing of intubation, tracheostomy, role of flexible nasoendoscopy, bronchoscopy, ventilation strategies, and management of chronic respiratory complications.
