title: Toxic epidermal necrolysis following bone marrow transplantation.
abstract: Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) has been reported following bone marrow transplantation. This rare and unfortunate complication may portend fatal outcome. We report on a patient with an allogeneic bone marrow transplant and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in whom TEN subsequently developed. In contrast to a previously reported case, our patient survived and is well two years after bone marrow engraftment.
