title: Rehabilitative considerations for patients with severe Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. A case report.
abstract: Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis are dermatologic disorders that demonstrate pathophysiologic similarities to partial-thickness burn injury and benefit from treatment in a multidisciplinary burn center. Although burn therapists frequently participate in the care of these patients, guidelines for rehabilitative intervention have not been previously identified. A case report highlights the potential rehabilitative complications and treatment interventions indicated for patients with severe forms of these conditions.
