One of the main symptoms of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is a skin rash that resembles severe burns. In many cases, the rash may first appear on the face and spread all over the body in irregular splotches, typically resulting in painful blisters. The skin is very sensitive and may come off with a slight touch.

Listed below are some of the other symptoms that have been associated with Stevens Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN):

• Blisters on the cornea (clear part of the eyeball)
• Bodily aches
• Chills
• Conjunctivitis-Commonly referred to as Pink Eye, symptoms include burning, itching, and burning of the eye.
• Coughing
• Difficulty urinating
