Avatar f tn The doctor is mostly concerned about steroids but I have had an allergic reaction to Tegretol, Clinoril, Dicloxacillin, Penicillian family, Valproic Acid, and Prednesone. My doctor knows all about this in fact he diagnosed the Stevens-Johnson when no one else realized why I was so sick. Right now they are trying Naproxen for spinal and sacariliac problem. Constipation being a concern.(Lost a third of colon with the Stevens-Johnson).
Avatar n tn The doctors and nurses there dismissed Stevens Johnson Syndrome almost immediatly. A few hours later the doctor indicated his opionion that it was herpes. Swabs and blood work are in process. My daughter is devastated and embarrassed. Is it possible to contract herpes via another avenue than sexual exposure, notably for a child this young.
Avatar n tn If the use of Advil to infants is bad and may cause Stevens-Johnson disease, why is it on the market? I can't believe the profits from it's sale would outweigh the legal ramifications and losing such a reputable brand name such as Advil. I have used Advil periodically for a teething tolder...wow, it's in the garbage as I type.
Avatar f tn Other causes needed to be ruled out are drug reaction, Stevens-Johnson syndrome etc. If drug allergy is suspected, need to discontinue the drug and report to your doctor immediately. I suggest you to consult you to a skin specialist. Take care and regards.

Avatar n tn I disagree because of 4) (culture produced nothing) and because my lips are different than under cold sores My PCP thinks this may be Stevens-Johnson syndrome. I know SJS can be due to an allergy or an HSV outbreak (any other reasons?). My PCP has not spoken definitively about the cause. He wants me to continue taking Acyclovir. Am I correct to disagree with my dermatologist? I still think my penile area is not infected with HSV. Is the negative culture a sufficient test?
Avatar f tn Also this disease has to be differentiated from other diseases with similar symptoms like Scarlet fever(caused by streptococcal bacteria).Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis,Stevens-Johnson syndrome( a disorder of the mucous membranes),Toxic shock syndrome and measles. Diagnosis can only be confirmed after examination and investigations.So in my opinion,consultation of a physician will be the best. Hope it helps.

Avatar m tn My eyes burned, nose burned and I got a yeast infection as a result. I feel much better as the rash is pretty much gone and my skin is peeling a little. However, my yeast infection seems to be back. Is this normal for my yeast infection to come back so shortly after treating it in the hospital? Is it possible that I am relapsing. The lamictal should pretty much be out of my system by now but maybe it's still a little active in my body. What should I do?
Avatar m tn He has been able to walk around, but would get tired quick. After being put on the Revlimid, he also suffered from fatigue and he started to walk less and less. He also started to lose weight. After the change in doctor's, he initially started to improve; and he walked for a couple of days without a walker before falling and moving back to the walker. Eventually, the Velcade started to make matters worse for him.

Avatar f tn //www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/stevens-johnson-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20355936 That condition is very rare. You don't mention a fever which is usually present and the spots are typically more blister like than red spots. It could be reaction to the new cream and your skin trying to adjust. Please let us know what the situation is now!
Avatar f tn After a few days on Bactrim, her mouth broke out in sores and her throat and lips swelled, and the doctor correctly diagnosed it as Stevens Johnson Syndrome, and immediately stopped the Bactrim and hospitalized her. The sores did not spread externally beyond her mouth, however while in the hospital she experienced black diarrhea, and continued to have some diarrhea and vomiting after they released her a few days later.
Avatar f tn For the last 5 tests that my doctor has run, the result has shown a Trace of Blood in the Urine. Everything else is normal. What causes this trace? I have a history of Kidney and bladder infections. They did find a spot on my liver when I was a child that had encapsulated itself.
Avatar f tn My son developed EM while on an antibiotic as an infant. It never progressed to Stevens-Johnson syndrome but was pretty severe. Over the years he used alternative antibiotics for ear infections etc. He was tested by an allergist and was found not to be allergic to the medication he was on during that time period. So what caused the EM? Is it likely to happen again. It was very scarey. His eyes swelled shut and he had these "bullseyes" popping up all over his body.
Avatar f tn m usually not well to think or incredibly busy or both, and they are in different cities or affiliated with different hospitals.. Before I knew it, the Stevens-Johnson Snydrome diagnosis was leveled on me, and all I could think of was what my patients went through. Since it was early, we discontinued the Lamictal (Weaning is not possible. This was life threatening and harmful.)and I was on a regular med-surg ward getting my IV antibiotics for 2 weeks. After that, I was fine.
Avatar n tn I had an allergic reaction to alleve that caused a few rashes on my penis.. This was an abnormal allergic reaction to this medication, as my dermatologist said I had this reaction was a mild case of Stevens Johnson syndrom (he's only seen this specific reaction a few times in his career).. I had canker soars in my mouth, rash on my butt and most important a few rashes on my penis... Every thing else has healed completely except the rashes on my penis..

Avatar f tn First time I took it, I developed a rash similar to the one you mention, on my thigh, then it progressed to shingles. The second time I took the drug two years later I developed a Stevens Johnson reaction. No comment or speculation here, just stating my facts. Use the info as you see fit.

Avatar m tn [1] Potentially life-threatening events, including Drug Reaction With Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) syndrome and Stevens-Johnson syndrome, were rarely reported. An analysis of more than 1200 patients treated with telaprevir during the clinical development program identified 11 cases of DRESS (< 1%) and 2 cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (< 0.2%).[2] These diagnoses were judged as probable or possible by a dermatology expert panel.
