[Hypersalivation, lesions of oral mucosa and generalized fatigue].
In case of a combination of hypersalivation and mucosal disease that rapidly progresses towards becoming indisposed, one has to consider an underlying general disease. In this paper a patient with these complaints, who visited the emergency department of the Groningen University Hospital, is described. The patient appeared to be suffering from a specific form of erythema multiforma, viz. the syndrome of Stevens-Johnson.
