Sažetak
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a severe disease of the skin and mucous membranes characterized by target lesions and epidermal necrosis induced by hypersensitivity to medications, infections and malignancies. We present a case of Stevens-Johnson syndrome in a young male secondary to interstitial pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae). Antimicrobial and short course systemic corticosteroid therapy combined with supportive measures resulted in a recovery without any long-term sequelae.
