Abstract
Stevens Johnson syndrome is one of the most severe types of cutaneous adverse reactions to drugs. We report a case of Stevens Johnson syndrome in a child after carbamazepine application. Based on data from the literature we discuss mechanisms of pathogenesis, the role of Ag HLA-B*1502, clinical manifestation and management in these severe life-threatening diseases.
