Abstract
Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) is an autoimmune process resulting in painful epidermal sloughing that can involve the vulva and vagina. Current guideline recommendations are based on expert opinion and may not reflect modern management of SJS/TEN in burn centers. We performed a retrospective chart review of 34 female patients treated for SJS/TEN at our burn center from 2015 to 2023. Cases frequently involved the vulva (83.3%) and vagina (56.0%), though pelvic examination often was limited. For eight patients with confirmed vulvovaginal lesions, there were no direct sequelae of SJS/TEN requiring intervention. In the modern era of SJS/TEN management in burn centers, interventions such as steroids may not be needed.
期刊介绍：
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces is a leading interdisciplinary journal that brings together chemists, engineers, physicists, and biologists to explore the development and utilization of newly-discovered materials and interfacial processes for specific applications. Our journal has experienced remarkable growth since its establishment in 2009, both in terms of the number of articles published and the impact of the research showcased. We are proud to foster a truly global community, with the majority of published articles originating from outside the United States, reflecting the rapid growth of applied research worldwide.
