[Toxic epidermal necrolysis and immunologic disorders].
The authors describe a "boiled baby", 17 months aged. The condition started acutely as an intense erythema that quickly progressed to blistering. The clinical appearance and symptomatology evoked a scalded skin. The entire cutaneous surface suffered the process. The lesions appeared after herpes-infection and were followed by knee arthritis and bronchial pneumonia. Laboratory patterns showed immunologic disorder.
