Characterization of Children With Recurrent Episodes of Stevens Johnson Syndrome.
We performed a retrospective chart review for all cases of recurrent Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) from March 2013 to March 2016. Nine children had 29 episodes of SJS or incomplete SJS; all children were male and 8 (88%) were white. Episodes affected mucus membranes with minimal skin involvement. Mycoplasma infections and HLA-B27/-B51 were common.
