The most severe cases of Stevens Johnson Syndrome can be fatal. This condition attacks the body’s vital organs and shows itself as lesions and painful blisters on the skin, mouth and mucous membranes. Most cases of Stevens Johnson Syndrome will begin with symptoms that resemble the flu and will be soon accompanied by a purplish-red rash that will spread across the skin, turn into painful blisters and cause the skin die and fall off.

Stevens Johnson Syndrome Requires Emergency Attention

Depending on the severity of the condition, recovery may take weeks or months. No matter how mild or severe, treatment of Stevens Johnson Syndrome is an emergency action and will most likely require hospitalization.

The condition is usually a severe allergic reaction to some type of medication, so obviously affected persons will have to stop taking suspected medications immediately and will never be able to take it again.

Symptoms of Severe Stevens Johnson Syndrome

Symptoms of Stevens Johnson Syndrome are painful. They can include:

• Swelling in the face and tongue
• Hives, purplish rash
• Pain in the skin
• Painful blisters in the mucous membranes and skin, mainly on the mouth, nose and eyes
• Skin death, causing it to fall

Some patients will experience flu-like symptoms before developing the rash and blisters. These symptoms may include fever, sore throat, burning/itchy eyes and cough.

Stevens Johnson Syndrome Long Term Effects

Stevens Johnson Syndrome is such a serious, life-threatening condition, it is important for patients to seek immediate medical attention if they develop any signs or symptoms. In more severe cases, patients run a risk of complications that can have long-term or fatal effects, such as:

• Secondary skin infections that can lead to fatal conditions such as meningitis and sepsis
• Sepsis can lead to organ failure
• Blindness from severe scarring in the eyes
• Organ damage and inflammation of the lungs, heart, liver or kidney
• Permanent damage to the skin, including severe scarring and abnormal bumps
• Permanent hair loss and an inability to grow nails

Getting Help for Damages

If you or someone you know has experienced a severe case of Stevens Johnson Syndrome, you may be able to seek compensation for the challenges you face, particularly in cases where a medication is associated with your condition. To find out more information about filing a legal claim to seek compensation, please call (800) 481-7430 or send an email to a qualified Stevens Johnson Syndrome lawyer now.
