[Losartan-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome in a geriatric patient].
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is an acute inflammatory and reactive disorder with skin and severe mucous membrane changes. Often patients have associated constitutional symptoms, including fever. The syndrome can be precipitated by infection or medication. We report a case of losartan-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome associated with renal impairment in a geriatric patient.
