What is Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and what are the symptoms?
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is a serious, potentially life-threatening skin disease. With Stevens-Johnson Syndrome the sufferer can first experience non-specific symptoms, such as headaches, aching body, fever, and a bad cough. Then a rash may develop over the face and torso, which then spreads to other parts of the body. The rash is patchy and spreads. Blistering can then appear, usually in places such as the eyes, mouth, nose and genital areas, and the mucous membrane becomes inflamed.
