ocular (can get symblepharon like MMP) or genital

17
Q

What are 4 features of EM histology?

A
  1. Subepithelial or intraepithelial vesiculation
  2. necrotic basal keratinocytes 3.mixed inflammatory infiltrate is present, consisting of lymphocytes, neutrophils, and often eosinophils 4. Perivascular

A

2-6 weeks, 20% - in the SPRING AND FALL…typically NOT life threatning, unless in most severe form

19
Q

What is the primary difference between etiology of EM vs SJS / TEN?

A

EM = HSV most commonly….SJS/TEN ALMOST ALWAYS drug exposure (over 200 meds ID’d)

20
Q

What differentiates SJS from TEN?

A

degree of skin involvment: SJS = <10% and TEN = >30%

21
Q

What are the prevalences for SJS and TEN?

A

SJS = 1-7:1,000,000…..TEN = 1:1,000,000

22
Q

Age for SJS? TEN? Gender?

A

SJS = younger patients TEN = over 60 years…female predilection

23
Q

24
Q

What differs in location of the initial lesions in SJS/TEN from EM?

A

SJS/TEN = flat lesions on trunk

25
What percent of patients with SJS/TEN have mucosal involvment?
nearly all (99%? lol)...particularly the oral mucosa
26
What is a promising new treatment for SJS/TEN? What are their mortality rates?
First stop the drug, dont tx with corticosteriods, and then IV pooled immunoglobulins block the Fas ligand....TEN = 25-30% and SJS = 1-5%.
