Abstract
Sulfonamides are often implicated in the majority of drug-induced cases of TEN. This case report illustrates the typical presentation of sulfonamide-induced TEN with a prodrome, characteristic rash, mucous membrane lesions, and systemic involvement. Practitioners should be aware of this rare adverse effect and closely observe patients for cutaneous manifestations or complaints. Any suspected drug should be discontinued if clinical evaluation leads to the suspicion of Stevens-Johnson syndrome or TEN.
