“…Based on previously reported studies, 30,31,45–50 we have postulated that moisture‐retentive ointment (moist exposed burn ointment [MEBO]; Julphar Gulf Pharmaceutical Industries, UAE) shares most advantages of both the open and closed methods without their disadvantages. Improved healing of postlaser wounds after treatment with the moisture‐retentive ointment has already been demonstrated experimentally 29 .…”

Purpose:To describe a case of toxic epidermal necrolysis likely caused by cephalexin with a review of the literature.Case:An 80-year-old male with a known allergy to cephalosporins, residing at a long-term acute care hospital, received cephalexin for a urinary tract infection. And 1 day after starting therapy, the patient developed an extensive erythematous rash accompanied by skin sloughing; 4 days after receiving cephalexin, the patient was directly admitted to the burn intensive care unit and was diagnosed with toxic epidermal necrolysis involving 56% of the total body surface area. Progressive deterioration to multisystem organ failure ensued, and the patient died 5 days following his admission to the burn intensive care unit. At the time of death, ulcerations were noted over approximately 80% of his body.Summary:The temporal association of the patient’s ingestion of cephalexin for a urinary tract infection to his onset of toxic epidermal necrolysis suggests that this 80-year-old man developed toxic epidermal necrolysis following the administration of cephalexin for a urinary tract infection.
