ABSTRACT
Stevens–Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) are rare type IV hypersensitivity reactions characterized by epidermal necrosis and detachment. We report the case of a preterm newborn at 34 weeks of gestation with gastroschisis who developed extensive blistering skin lesions and mucosal involvement following antibiotic exposure. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination. Given the rarity of SJS/TEN in the neonatal period and its severe clinical course, this case contributes valuable information for improving diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in similar patients.REFERENCES
