An uncommon indication for liver transplantation: toxic epidermal necrolysis
TEN (Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis) is an immunologically
mediated disease characterized by lifethreatening
extensive vesiculobullous eruption and
mucous membrane involvement. Gastrointestinal and
hepatic system involvement may be observed (1,2).
The purpose of this letter is to highlight the possibility
of encountering acute liver failure necessitating
transplantation in patients with TEN.
