Paediatric Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis: patterns and outcomes in a retrospective Pakistani cohort

Paediatric drug-induced SJS/TEN remains a critical concern, particularly due to commonly prescribed antibiotics and NSAIDs. High mortality in TEN cases and predominant use of supportive therapy highlight the need for clear paediatric treatment protocols. Local data on the role of early immunomodulatory therapy are limited, indicating a need for further research on optimal early interventions to improve outcomes.
