Abstract
Stevens Johnson Syndrome is a mucocutaneous immunological reaction reported commonly due to use of drugs such as sulfonamides, oxicam NSAIDs, allopurinol, aromatic anticonvulsants and anti-HIV drugs like nevirapine. The severity depends on the extent of body surface area involved and is called SJS/ TEN or TEN accordingly. The treatment of SJS is cessation of the causative drug, systemic steroids and supportive care. SJS due to azithromycin is a very rare occurrence and hence we report such a case which was successfully treated at our hospital.
Keywords: Sulfonamides; Allopurinol; Anticonvulsants
