Pediatric SJS/TEN Subdued by a Combination of Dexamethasone, Cyclosporine, and Etanercept.

We report a case of an 17-year-old male with a drug reaction in the spectrum of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), triggered by carbamazepine, who was succesfully treated with the combination of dexamethasone, cyclosporine, and etanercept. This triple therapy halted and prevented skin epidermolysis without immediate or late onset complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
