Case Reports
Paracetamol induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome--toxic epidermal necrolysis overlap syndrome.
Though any drug can be a potential cause of such hypersensitivity reactions, paracetamol, an over-the-counter drug used extensively as an analgesic and antipyretic agent, is considered to be relatively safe, with hepatotoxicity as a major adverse effect only in large doses. ⋯ This case report addresses the fact that severe hypersensitivity reactions can occur with paracetamol, which can be potentially dangerous and life threatening. It is hence important for the clinicians to be alert to such severe hypersensitivity reactions even with drugs which are considered to be potentially safe such as paracetamol.
