title: [Lyell's syndrome: study of a clinical case].
abstract: The Authors report a case of Lyell's syndrome. Previous administration of sulfadossine was identified as the precipitating cause of the syndrome. The clinical history and the treatment of the case are described. Two aspects of the latter were considered to be particularly important: a careful control of the hydroelectrolytic balance and positive action to favour the rapid re-epithelialization of the cutaneous area affected.
