BACKGROUND
Withdrawal of the drug(s) that cause severe cutaneous adverse reactions is usually recommended without proof that it alters the course of those reactions.
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether the timing of causative drug withdrawal is related to the prognosis of patients with toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) or Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS).
DESIGN
A 10-year observational study (January 1, 1987, through October 30, 1997) of patients admitted to a dermatological intensive care unit…
