Etiology
- Infection: especially common in children
- Mycoplasma pneumoniae: moderate to severe involvement of two or more mucosal sites and sparse, or even absent, skin involvement
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae1
- Drugs
- Allopurinol
- Aromatic antiepileptic drugs and lamotrigine
- Antibacterial sulfonamides (including sulfamethoxazole and sulfasalazine)
- Nevirapine
- Oxicam nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Less strongly, other antibiotics
Management
- Risk stratify with SCORTEN score
- Consider referral to burn centre or ICU if BSA 30% or greater, or if SCORTEN score is 2 or greater
- Stop offending drug, if applicable
- Supportive care, including wound care and IV fluids (2 ml per kg times BSA over first 24 hours)
- Room temperature 30º to 32ºC
- May need NG tube
- Pain control, as pain may be severe
- Ophthalmologic exam and management
- Saline rinses
- Artificial tears even if no involvement
- Corticosteroids with or without antibiotics for any involvement
- No clear benefit to steroids or IVIG
- Cyclosporine 3 to 5 mg per kg in one or two divided doses may slow progression
