title: Methimazole-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis in a 12-year-old girl.
abstract: We report a 12-year-old girl with hyperthyreosis who presented methamazole-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). The patient's past history suggests a presence of autoimmune disease. To our knowledge it is the first report describing such an adverse effect of methimazole.
