Abstract
Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) is potentially life threatening
cutaneous disorder usually induced by drugs. Non steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) are one of the common groups implicated
in drug induced TEN. Aceclofenac is a relatively new NSAID exhibiting
preferential cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition. It is widely used in
management of musculoskeletal disorders. This report describes TEN
induced by aceclofenac in a 58 year old female who self medicated
herself with higher dose of aceclofenac for knee joint pain.
