Stevens-Johnson Syndrome

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is a condition that results in severe skin reactions that include rashes and blisters that can progress to third degree burn-like intensity. SJS may result from many causes, though adverse drug reactions are thought to most commonly cause SJS. According to the Stevens-Johnson Foundation, almost any drug can cause Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.

Is Stevens-Johnson Syndrome common?

SJS was once thought to be rare, but that was the result of a general lack of awareness. Understanding of SJS has increased, but misdiagnosis and overlooked symptoms are still prevalent and only serve to exacerbate this serious—and sometimes fatal—condition.

Who usually suffers from SJS?

SJS occurs almost twice as often in males as females and more often in the young than in seniors. SJS can also affect babies.

SJS may also be referred to by the following technical terms, which indicate levels of severity:

  • erythema multiforme minor
  • erythema multiforme major
  • toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)

What should I do if I’ve been affected by SJS?

SJS cases can be extremely complex, often resulting in large medical bills for extensive treatment and long-term effects that can be permanently disabling. Consequently, you may need our experienced Houston drug injury lawyers on your side to help meet your legal needs.
