GlossaryStevens-Johnson syndrome

rare, severe skin reaction often triggered by medication or infection

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare, serious disorder of the skin and mucous membranes, often triggered by a reaction to medication or an infection. It typically begins with flu-like symptoms, followed by a painful red or purplish rash that spreads and blisters, leading to the top layer of skin dying and shedding. Immediate medical attention is crucial, as SJS can be life-threatening and requires hospitalization.
