The spectrum of severe drug-induced skin reactions with blister formation includes Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and generalized bullous fixed drug eruption (GBFDE). These diseases can be life threatening. Therefore, it is crucial that the causative agent is rapidly identified and discontinued. Differential diagnosis can very be difficult. Symptomatic and adequate supportive care is very important. Systemic immunomodulatory treatments are also used.
