Article Abstract
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is a rare but potentially fatal skin reaction characterized by extensive involvement of the epidermal and mucosal tissue. Although medications are the typical culprits, infectious diseases and chronic illnesses may also trigger SJS or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). We present a rapid, severe SJS/TEN case in response to azithromycin administration, underscoring the critical need for pharmacovigilance and discontinuation of suspected medications, even if the potential causative agent is not commonly associated with these severe cutaneous adverse reactions.

This review analyzes Russian and international literature on the treatment of bilateral limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), focusing on the use of Simple Oral Mucosal Epithelial Transplantation (SOMET) as a surgical method for restoring the ocular surface. Contemporary sources report 64 cases of SOMET used in the treatment of bilateral LSCD: 35 cases of chemical burns, 16 of thermal burns, 7 cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, 1 keratitis, 1 cicatricial pemphigoid, 1 dermoid, 1 case of drug-induced LSCD (mitomycin C), etc. Notably, all transplantations resulted in complete epithelialization, and in 3 cases, penetrating keratoplasty was subsequently performed with favorable functional and anatomical outcomes.

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is an aggressive hematologic neoplasm characterized by an expansion of CD123 monocytes and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). pDC bone marrow clusters in CMML have been associated with higher rates of acute myeloid leukemia transformation. We evaluated tagraxofusp, a CD123-targeted therapy, in a phase 1/2 trial for patients with CMML.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are a spectrum of immune-mediated mucocutaneous injuries often due to an adverse reaction to medication or infection. Numerous medications have been associated with SJS, with abacavir, allopurinol, aromatic antiepileptic drugs, minocycline, proton pump inhibitors, and sulfasalazine being the most common. Additionally, there have been several case reports of SJS associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The ocular surface microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis, and its disruption may contribute to mucosal inflammation and autoimmunity. This pilot exploratory study investigated and compared the ocular surface bacterial microbiome in patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), Sjögren's disease (SjD), and healthy controls using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and correlated these findings with dry eye parameters. Conjunctival swabs were collected from sixteen individuals: ten with SJS, three with SjD, and three healthy controls.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe hypersensitivity reactions characterized by extensive epidermal necrosis, often induced by medications. This research aims to investigate the involvement of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a derivative of vitamin A known to induce dermatological toxicity resembling SJS/TEN, in the development of these conditions. Utilizing network toxicology methodologies, molecular docking technology, and experimental validation, we identified 159 common targets between ATRA and SJS, 38 with TEN, and 27 shared among all three conditions through databases such as SwissTargetPrediction and GeneCards.
