The psychological impact of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis on patients' lives: A critically appraised topic.

DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION FOR CLINICAL CASE: The evidence suggests that SJS and TEN impact psychologically on patients' lives. Education of HCPs, to address their lack of awareness and information on SJS/TEN, should facilitate their capacity to provide information and support to patients, thereby reducing patient anxiety. On discharge, a follow up appointment with relevant HCPs to reduce the possibility of PTSD occurring should be considered. PMID: 31792924 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
