Ofloxacin, paracetamol and cefixime induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome - toxic epidermal necrolysis in an adult female patient: a case report

This case highlights the necessity for clinicians to maintain high suspicion for SCARs in patients presenting with mucocutaneous symptoms and recent drug exposure-even with commonly used medications not frequently associated with SJS-TEN. The unique presentation involving synchronous ocular, nasal, oral, and genital erosions alongside use of a rare drug combination strengthens the need for early recognition, comprehensive clinical assessment, and cautious prescription practices. Individualized treatment and close monitoring are crucial in preventing mortality and minimizing complications. This case underscores the importance of pharmacovigilance and personalized care in managing drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions, especially in resource-limited or polypharmacy scenarios.
