Stevens-Johnson syndrome (erythema multiforme) following ingestion of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole on two separate occasions in the same person: a case report.

Despite its content of a long-acting sulfa, the manufacturers claim that the literature shows no case reports of Stevens-Johnson syndrome reaction to trimethoprin-sulfamethoxazole. A case report in an enlightened Nigerian who inadvertently took the drug a second time and had second and more severe reactions is reported.

Severe allergic keratoconjunctivitis and erythema multiforme after a routine eye examination: discerning the cause.

Acute allergic dermatitis of the eyelids with keratoconjunctivitis is associated with a specific triggering factor. Therapy for the acute inflammation can complicate the search for such a factor if the process worsens. We report a case of acute contact dermatitis and keratoconjunctivitis after a routine eye examination to demonstrate the difficulty in evaluating such patients and the role of skin patch testing in determining the cause.

Bullous pemphigoid mimicking bullous erythema multiforme: an untoward side effect of penicillins.

Three young and middle-aged patients developed severe bullous eruption after receiving various penicillins. The clinical findings included high fever, prostration, widespread bullous eruption mainly on the head, face, and extremities, targetlike lesions on the palms and soles, and severe erosions in almost all the mucous membranes. Direct and indirect immunofluorescence studies were those of bullous pemphigoid. Complete clearing of the eruption occurred with prednisone therapy. We conclude that drug-induced bullous pemphigoid is a different entity from the classic bullous pemphigoid.

Erythema multiforme.

The control of anxiety and pain by combining patient involvement with effective nursing and medical therapy is of paramount importance when caring for the conscious critically ill patient. Early intervention with particle flotation therapy increased patient comfort, prevented further excessive skin loss and promoted healing of new epidermis. Nutritional support using total parenteral nutrition can help to reduce the incidence of sequelae such as immuno-compromization, pulmonary tissue oedema and impaired wound healing. Effective infection control measures aimed at preventing excessive colonization of the skin helps to promote the development of new healthy epidermis. Multidisciplinary care incorporating nursing, medical and physiotherapy disciplines is all important in delivering effective critical care.

Recurrent, localized urticaria and erythema multiforme: a review and management of cutaneous anthrax vaccine-related events.

The October 2001 domestic anthrax attacks affected 22 people, resulting in 5 fatalities. The added global terrorist threats have created an increasing need for homeland protection, as well as protection of our widely deployed forces battling terrorism. It is now relevant for physicians to be familiar with both clinical anthrax and adverse vaccine-related events associated with the resumption of the anthrax vaccine program. Dermatologists played a lead role in the initial response to the anthrax attack. We must be the lead providers most familiar with the cutaneous reactions that may be seen with the preventive vaccination. This article reviews the latest recommended evaluation and management of anthrax vaccine adverse events.

Meningococcal septicaemia presenting as erythema multiforme.

A 48-year-old woman presented with a three-week history of recurrent, generalised rash, flitting joint pains, frontal headache and shivering attacks. On admission she was pyrexial and exhibited a symmetrical generalised maculopapular rash with a few target lesions. The rash faded within the first 24 hours, but over the following week it recurred at intervals of 48 hours and was accompanied by fever and headache. She was started on a short course of steroids, which did not alter her symptoms or signs. Eight days after admission, the patient underwent a lumbar puncture, despite the absence of definite signs of meningeal irritation. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was turbid and diagnostic of bacterial meningitis. Cultures of blood and CSF taken on the day of admission both grew Neisseria meningitidis. The patient was successfully treated; symptoms were completely resolved.
