Recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in the management of toxic epidermal necrolysis
Br J Dermatol.
1996 Aug.
Abstract
We report a 7-year-old girl with extensive toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and neutropenia who was successfully treated using recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. Our patient had extensive epidermal loss and neutropenia, both indicators of a poor prognosis, but none the less made a rapid and complete recovery.
