Description:

Stevens Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis are insidious, potentially deadly variants of the same disease in which the human body fools itself into thinking the skin, mucus membranes, and visceral organs are foreign invaders; so the body literally attempts to rid itself of the skin and internal organs. People who survive this horrible, life-changing condition face untold challenges on a daily basis. Until now, there has been no one central informational reference about these conditions. This comprehensive book consolidates all known information about this condition, detailing the causes, signs / symptoms; treatment, and long-term health ramifications never before understood. Includes treatment protocols for physicians, with a chapter devoted to the eyes by Dr. Tseng. This valuable book contains information that may save your life, or it may help the survivor come to terms in living with this condition by knowing what to expect. *New Larger Print Expanded Edition*
