Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare genetic disorder. The syndrome presents with severe purulent conjunctivitis, stomatitis with mucosal necrosis, and purpuric macules. This syndrome is associated with hypersensitive reaction usually stimulated by infection, vaccination, systemic diseases, physical agents, foods or drugs. However, only few cases reported can be related to infectious agents, but the causative role of infectious microorganisms seems relevant in paediatric patients. Authors want to underline the positive response of a new way of therapy by immunoglobulin injection.

Abstract
Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare genetic disorder. The syndrome presents with severe purulent conjunctivitis, stomatitis with mucosal necrosis, and purpuric macules. This syndrome is associated with hypersensitive reaction usually stimulated by infection, vaccination, systemic diseases, physical agents, foods or drugs. However, only few cases reported can be related to infectious agents, but the causative role of infectious microorganisms seems relevant in paediatric patients. Authors want to underline the positive response of a new way of therapy by immunoglobulin injection.File in questo prodotto:
