Potential permanent respiratory sequela of Stevens-Johnson syndrome in an adolescent

S Reyes de la Rocha et al. J Adolesc Health Care. 1985 May.

Abstract

Respiratory involvement is a frequent complication of the Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS); however, there are no reports of persisting pulmonary sequelae following recovery. We present a case report of an adolescent girl with a history of clinically inactive hyperactive airway disease who developed persistent, severe obstructive pulmonary disease following an episode of SJS. This case may represent a permanent respiratory sequela.
