History
45 yr old female – RVD postive CD4 238, clin. stage 1Pulmonary TB on treatment for 2/52
p/w ‐ sore throat‐ septic mucocutaneous lesions‐ pustules involving the
upper and lower lips, purulent eye discharge, blisters over the feet, diffuse hyperpigmentation of the skin
‐ fever ‐ generalised body pains
HxPC: initially diagnosed with PTB in February 2007.commenced on TB treatment and subsequently developed a rash a month later. Rx was stopped and not re‐challenged(4 sputum samples taken were negative).
![Page 3: Acute Drug Reaction SJS/TEN - Department of Health · Steven Johnson syndrome Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis SJS/TEN overlap syndrome. Epidemiology ... Stevens‐Johnson Syndrome ‐Less](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021915/5ccdda0288c993b5058c040a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
She then presented in Manzini with constitutional symptoms of TB 5mths later. Sputum was + and treatment was commenced.INH was given for 3 days and thereafter full TB treatment wasgiven together with streptomycin. 2/52 she had developed SJSand sent to greys hospital.
PmedHx: Hypertensive on Hctz 12.5 mg dailyDrug hx: also on bactrim prophylaxisNo other significant hx of note
O/E general‐ septic oral lesions involving both the upper and lower lip, purulent eye discharge, diffuse hyperpigmentation ofthe skin, blisters over the feet. Swelling of the ankles and knees.Pyrexial.

Management( KEH Protocol)-Stop TB treatment-Supportive management-Topical agents: avoid soap, use aqueous cream to bath, topicalsteroid- Advantan, emoliants
-IV fluids and correct electrolyte imbalance-monitor for sepsis- avoid urinary catheter,CVP,NG tube-do not use sulphur containing antibiotics -wound management: flamazine dressing, bactroban, salinewash, glycothymol mouth wash-Multidisciplinary: ophthalmology, dietician, psychologist-Desensitization: 1/3 dose IRPE for 3 days (monitor for
2/3 dose IRPE 3 days rash,pyrexia)full dose
Steroids: 1mg/kg for 3 days only- prevent dissemination of TBand other oppurtunistic infections

Resolution
‐2‐4 weeks in the absence of complicaitons‐re‐ epithelialization ‐ several days after onset, usually 2‐3wks‐Remaining skin may peel, nails may detach
Long term sequele
‐scarring, irregular pigmentation, eruptive naevi , abnormal regrowth of nails, alopecia.

HIV Infected Patients
‐3 times increased risk for SJS/TEN‐40 fold increased risk for SJS/TEN due to Bactrim( benefit outweighs risk)‐related to the degree of immunosuppression‐? Exposure to multiple medications, including sulphonamides, “slow acetylation” status, immune dysregulation, presence of concomitant infections‐Bactrim , sulfadiazine, dapsone, amino penicillins‐Abacavir, Efavirenz, nevirapine, ‐strong association between herpes virus infections and EM, SJS is more associated with exogenous agents(drugs)
