What is Stevens–Johnson syndrome?
'''Stevens–Johnson syndrome''' is a [[disease]] of the [[skin]]. In most cases, it is caused by an [[allergy|allergic reaction]] to [[drugs]]. This accounts for about half the cases. [[Lymphoma]], and other [[infection]]s are responsible for most other cases. The disease is characterized by [[cell death]] that causes the [[epidermis]] to separate from the [[dermis]]. Since this is similar to what happens in burn, some of the same methods are used to treat patients. [[Category:Skin problems]] {{biology-stub}}
