title: [Medications and Lyell syndrome].
abstract: Lyell's syndrome, also known as toxic epidermal necrolysis, is one of the most devastating generalized skin disorders with a high mortality rate. The clinical manifestations are similar to those seen with extensive second-degree burns. Since drugs are considered to be responsible agents frequently, the dentist treating his patients with antibiotics and analgetics should be aware of this possibility.
