Klinik bulgular hafif deri ve müköz membran tutulumu ile ağır sistemik bozukluklar arasında değişkenlik gösterir. Stevens-johnson sendromunun bilinen en yaygın nedenleri; ilaçlar, aşılar ve viral enfeksiyonlardır. Bu makalede 9 yaşında, suçiçeği ile birlikte Stevens-Johnson sendromu gelişen bir olgu sunuluyor. Olgumuzda asiklovir ve intravenöz immünoglobulin teda- visi ile klinik bulguların düzeldiğini ve gelişebilecek komplikasyonların kontrol altına alındığını görüyoruz

Stevens-Johnson syndrome associated with varicella infection

Stevens-Johnson syndrome, is an acute hypersensitivity reaction that involves skin and mucous membranes, develops with target lesions and bullous lesions, and can be life threatening. Clinical findings range from mild skin and mucous membrane involvement to severe systemic disorders. Drugs, vaccines and viral infections are the most commonly known causes of Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
