Abstract

The article presents a case report of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), a rare but serious pathological process with erosive mucosal lesions and widespread skin lesions. SJS is usually caused by an allergic reaction to medications, sometimes triggers of the syndrome are infectious diseases, but often the cause cannot be determined. A disease, especially drug-induced, can occur in practice of any specialty physicians. But it is not always recognized in time. It often requires an individual approach to treatment. The presented clinical case confirms a need for timely diagnosis, early initiation of individual treatment.
