THE MODERN IMAGE OF STEVENS-JOHNSON SYNDROME
For the first time, in 1922, the American pediatricians A.M. Stevens and S.F. Johnson described two cases of a disease, the characteristic features of which were erosive stomatitis, cheilitis, purulent conjunctivitis, erosive keratitis, a skin eruption all over the body and a pyretic fever. Subsequently the syndrome was named after the indicated authors. The article is devoted to the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture and treatment of quite a rare pathological state - Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
