Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis From a Cigarette Burn

Creative Commons 'BY-NC' version 4.0 license
Abstract

Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a rare disease that is most often drug-induced but can be of idiopathic origin. We present a case that originated at the site of a cigarette burn to the forearm and review the key elements of physical exam findings and management of this life-threatening dermatological condition, which needs to be promptly recognized to decrease patient mortality.
