Product Description
Erythema Multiforme, Stevens Johnson Syndrome, and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis are insidious, deadly variants of the same condition in which the body fools itself into thinking the skin, mucus membranes, and internal body organs are foreign invaders: so the body literally attempts to rid itself of the skin and internal organs. Survivors of this horrific, life-changing condition face untold challenges. Many physicians are unsure how to treat this condition and accurate information is scarce on the long-term ramifications. This book details all known information about this condition: the causes, signs / symptoms; treatment, and long-term health ramifications never before understood. Includes medical management protocols for physicians, a chapter devoted to the eyes by Dr. Tseng, and interviews with survivors. This valuable book contains information that may save your life, or it may help the survivor come to terms in living with this condition by knowing what to expect. Highly acclaimed by the medical community. ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! TEN affects many parts of the body, but it most severely affects the mucous membranes, such as the mouth, eyes, and vagina. The severe findings of TEN are often preceded by 1 to 2 weeks of fever. These symptoms may mimic those of a common upper respiratory tract infection. When the rash appears it may be over large and varied parts of the body, and it is usually warm and appears red. The dermal layer fills with fluid being deposited there by the body's immune system, usually as a result of a negative reaction to an antibiotic. The skin then begins to sag from the body and can be peeled off in great swaths. The mouth becomes blistered and eroded, making eating difficult and sometimes necessitating feeding through a nasogastric tube through the nose or a gastric tube directly into the stomach. ...
