History of Present Illness
According to the statement of the patient, she was reasonably well 5 and half years back. Then she developed tingling and burning sensation of the hand followed by weakness of right side of the body and fall on the ground. For this complaint she was treated with a medication but she could not mention the name. After taking the drug for six months, she developed painful oral ulceration involving tongue, buccal mucosa and lips. She also developed few pruritic, flaccid blister on her hand, that ruptured spontaneously and healed with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Contd. With these complaints, she was admitted in a
hospital and diagnosed as a case of Steven Jhonson syndrome. She was treated with injectable dexamethasone and ceftriaxone for 7 days with withdrawal of the offending drug. Her oral ulcer and skin lesion were healed in 10 days. After discharge, she was advised to take acetalopram for her neurological symptoms by local doctor which she took 2 months and was symptom free for 3 years. Then she again developed neurological symptoms and then she was treated with sodium valproate for 6 month. Since then, she is symptom free.
