“…These lesions may remain localized to extremities or may become generalized with involvement of oro/genital mucosa and conjunctiva. When mucosal surfaces are involved, it is called as SJ Syndrome and manifests as rhinitis, vulvo-vaginitis and balanitis (7,9,10].…”

“…In the present study the incidence of EM minor is higher than EM major, because in most of the cases aetiological factor was herpes simplex which usually produces EM minor and is a fairly common infection even among healthy people. According to the study of Ting HC and Adam et al 5 the incidence of EM major was higher than EM minor. According to the study of Ashby & Theresa et al 3 the incidence of EM major is higher than EM minor.…”

“…The higher incidence of drug induced EM in the present study can be attributed to the common practice of prescribing sulfonamides for routine infections because of its low price and also because of indiscriminate usage of analgesics. According to the study of Ting HC and Adam et al 5 EM major was frequently associated with drug intake. According to the study of Strom J et al Shelly WB et al Herpes simplex virus was the common cause of EM.…”

BACKGROUND Erythema multiforme is an acute self-limited syndrome with distinctive skin lesions, with or without mucosal lesions, which can be precipitated by various agents. EM minor denotes mild cutaneous syndrome. EM major denotes more severe syndrome, with marked mucosal involvement. METHODS 50 clinically diagnosed cases of erythema multiforme attending DVL department, attached to GGH Kurnool, were studied. A detailed proforma was taken, which included 1). Detailed history including chief complaints related to skin. 2). Complete physical and systemic examination. 3). Relevant investigations were done. RESULTS In the present study, 50 clinically diagnosed cases of erythema multiforme were enrolled. 31-50 yrs. (40%) age group patients showed peak incidence, with slight female preponderance. Incidence of EM minor (84%) was much higher than EM major (16%). Systemic drugs are the main cause for EM minor (50%) and the sole cause for EM major. Among drugs, Sulphonamides (20%) are the commonest cause. Next come Infections (30%) among which Herpes simplex (20%) is most common; followed by Radiotherapy. All cases of EM major showed symmetrical involvement, bullous lesions, erosions over both skin and mucous membranes. EM minor presented with papular lesions, 'Target' lesions over extremities. CONCLUSIONS The present study emphasises that EM can be diagnosed clinically. Drugs are the sole cause for EM Major.

“…Previous studies have reported the annual incidence rates of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), peaking in the second decade of life, with a seasonal spring predominance (1)(2)(3)(4), but these results are limited because of small sample sizes within a few hospital catchment areas between the 1960s and 1990s (1)(2)(3)(4). Furthermore, surveys of SJS/TEN at the national level have not been conducted in the United States.…”

Although Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are serious, life-threatening reactions to drug therapies, no efforts have been made to investigate the comprehensive change in epidemiology with respect to age, sex, and race and ethnicity in children. The risk of death was 0.3% to 1.5%, and the highest hospitalization rates were in children 15 to 19 years of age, boys, and black children. The highest proportions of hospitalizations were children with very low household income, those with private insurance, and those treated at large urban teaching hospitals in the West. A significant winter-autumn predominance was observed.
