4. CONCLUSION
Carbamazepine is one of the common drugs that can result in SJS, and a
thorough history must be taken if carbamazepine medication is clinically
necessary. Any patient who has experienced a drug reaction in the past
should be avoided by physicians in prescribing carbamazepine. It is
crucial to promptly discontinue the offending drug and provide
appropriate medical care to manage the symptoms of SJS-TEN overlap.
Supportive care, including nutritional support, wound care, and
intravenous fluids, should also be provided. The use of systemic
corticosteroids remains controversial, and their use should be
individualized based on the severity of the disease and the patient’s
clinical status. With proper management, patients can recover from
SJS-TEN and return to good health.
