Two cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome following intake of klavox with review of literature.
We present two case reports of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (triad of fever, stomatitis and conjunctivitis) due to klavox (amoxicillin + clavulanic acid) which has been reported in few publications as etiology but it is not commonly seen. We conclude that klavox can precipitate development of SJS.
