Recurrent toxic epidermal necrolysis secondary to iopromide contrast.

Abstract

We present the case report of a patient with three episodes of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis attributed to the monomeric, nonionic, intravenous contrast iopromide. All three episodes required inpatient management, with the last two episodes being referred to the burn unit. Recurrence was the result of misattribution of an antibiotic as the inciting agent in the first two episodes.
