Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)?,”TEN is a severe syndrome characterized by the sudden onset of mucocutaneous lesions and systemic signs of toxicity. Typical features include an erythematous eruption that rapidly evolves into exfoliation of the skin. It is most often caused by medications (eg, antibiotics, anticonvulsants, allopurinol). TEN and Stevens, Johnson syndrome (SJS) are similar disorders distinguished by the percentage of involved skin: SSJ involves < 10% of the body surface area, TEN involves > 30
