Stevens Johnson Syndrome is a serious condition that has been associated with allergic reaction and infection. Also known as erythema multiforme, the condition shows itself as lesions and large blisters on the skin and mucous membranes, and can cause serious damage to the body’s vital organs.
If you’ve developed Stevens Johnson Syndrome and your doctors think it may be associated with a medication you’ve taken, you may be qualified to seek and recover compensation for the damages you’ve incurred. If you would like more information about your rights, contact our attorneys today by calling (800) 481-7430 or contact a specialist handling Stevens Johnson Syndrome cases and an experienced attorney will contact you shortly.
Treatment of milder forms of Stevens Johnson Syndrome may include measures to control the underlying cause which may be allergic reaction, illness or infection, and of course, treatment of the actual symptoms. If the patient has been using Bextra, Dilantin, Motrin or other suspected medications, he/she will be advised to discontinue use immediately.
Treatment options for mild cases of the condition may include one or more of the following:
Patients may require intensive care, and may have to be isolated to prevent further infection. More severe cases may require additional treatment.
In incidences of erythema multiforme where the symptoms are mild, patients will likely see results within 2-6 weeks of treatment. Some patients may experience reoccurring symptoms. In more severe cases, Stevens Johnson Syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis can be difficult to treat and may result in death.
A symptom of Stevens Johnson Syndrome is blistering of the mouth, face or lips. In milder cases, topical anesthetics will be prescribed to treat mouth sores and to help with associated pain and discomfort that may interfere with eating or drinking.
If you or a loved one has suffered from mild or severe Stevens Johnson Syndrome symptoms, you should know that you may be eligible to seek compensation for your injuries. To find out more information and to discuss your individual situation, contact an experienced attorney for erythema multiforme by calling (800) 481-7430 now.
