Early Signs & Symptoms of Stevens Johnson Syndrome

Patients have complained of experiencing flu-like symptoms a little while before the more obvious symptoms such as skin rash and blisters. Early signs can include nausea, headache or cough.

SJS Symptoms Can Come on Fast

With the risk for suffering heart attacks and strokes linked to popular medications, skin reactions can seem like a minor risk. Many people are unaware of the devastating and potentially deadly symptoms of Stevens Johnson Syndrome. Within one week of taking a new drug, symptoms of Stevens Johnson Syndrome will appear among sufferers. The disease attacks the skin and mucous membranes, and people unaware of recognizing symptoms of Stevens Johnson Syndrome can end up blind or dead.

Even doctors are sometimes unfamiliar with recognizing symptoms of Stevens Johnson Syndrome, which is critical in avoiding serious and deadly effects. Stevens Johnson Syndrome can result from the body’s negative response to drugs, including those used to treat epileptic seizures, anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics.

Stages of Stevens Johnson Syndrome Symptoms

There are different stages of symptoms associated with SJS. The first stage is usually marked by symptoms that mimic the flu. The next stage will include spreading of a red/purplish skin rash and the development of painful lesions on the eyes, nose or mouth. While these symptoms are easily spotted, the same thing is likely occurring inside the body simultaneously, as SJS attacks the body’s internal organs such as the heart, kidneys and liver.

Identifying and Treating SJS Symptoms

The key to avoiding lethal cases of the disease is through early detection and intervention, which cannot occur if symptoms of Stevens Johnson Syndrome are not identified. If any symptoms of Stevens Johnson Syndrome are observed, the new drug that might have caused the reaction should be immediately discontinued.

If you think you may be experiencing symptoms associated with Stevens Johnson Syndrome, get emergency medical help now.
