What is Stevens-Johnson Syndrome?

Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) was first identified in 1922 by A.M. Stevens and S.C. Johnson. SJS is an immune complex mediated hypersensitivity disorder that may be caused by many drugs, viral infections and malignancies. Patients who develop SJS often develop large blisters in the mouth, throat, on the skin, around the anus or genitals, and even on the eyes. The blisters rupture, leaving the skin and nerve endings exposed causing severe pain. Although the severity and nature of the symptoms may vary, as many as 10% of patients develop blindness and as many as 15% of patients die from SJS.
