Early detection and prompt medical attention are crucial for Stevens Johnson syndrome recovery. The Stevens Johnson Syndrome recovery period involves treating the individual symptoms of this severe skin condition and the secondary conditions that can develop. A team of medical professionals including burn, infectious disease, ophthalmology, and dermatology experts, is crucial to successful Stevens Johnson syndrome recovery.

What is Stevens Johnson Syndrome?

Stevens Johnson syndrome is a severe and life threatening condition that affects the skin and mucous membranes. As a result of this condition, the skin, eyes and mucous membranes burn from the inside out. Stevens Johnson syndrome is often caused by an adverse drug reaction. Adverse drug reactions claim the lives of 150,000 people every year and are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Up to fifteen percent of all people who develop Stevens Johnson syndrome will die as a result of complications. For this reason, Stevens Johnson syndrome recovery must be facilitated by prompt and adequate medical treatment in order to avoid morbidity.

Stevens Johnson Syndrome Recovery Time

A patient's recovery time will depend on several factors and will vary from patient to patient. Stevens Johnson syndrome recovery will require that a number of case specific actions be taken to prevent complications and treat a patient's adverse symptoms. First and foremost, use of any medications that are suspect of causing the condition should be terminated. Critical care medical attention is often required in the first stages of Stevens Johnson syndrome recovery to treat the severe symptoms of this condition.

Protecting Against Complications

The recovery process involves medical treatment to mitigate the risk of complications from this condition. The complications that can compromise Stevens Johnson syndrome recovery include:

• Blindness
• dry eye syndrome
• lung damage
• asthma
• chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
• permanent loss of the nail bed
• scarring of the esophagus and mucous membranes
• arthritis
• symptoms which prevent a person from eating or drinking

Three to ten percent of all patients will suffer from permanent vision loss during the Stevens Johnson syndrome recovery process.

Stevens Johnson syndrome has been linked to reactions with certain drugs, such as Bextra, Dilantin, ibuprofen and others. For information about specific drugs associated with the disorder, see our drug page.

If you or a loved one has developed Stevens Johnson syndrome while taking a medication, you may wish to explore your legal rights and options. Drug manufacturers can be held liable for your losses in a personal injury case. A Stevens Johnson syndrome lawsuit can help a victim seek compensation for losses incurred during recovery, such as lost income, physical pain and more. For more information or to see if an Stevens Johnson syndrome attorney can help you, call (800) 481-7430.
