“…[34][35][36][37] Infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a known cause of SJS, and a few cases of TEN have been reported to complicate infection with this agent. [38][39][40][41] For all practical purposes, though, drugs are the main cause. 42 More than 220 medications have been implicated, but the major offenders are sulfonamide antibiotics, particularly trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole; aromatic anticonvulsants such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, and carbamazapine; beta-lactam antibiotics; nevirapine; abacavir; nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, particularly the oxicams; allopurinol; lamotrigine; tetracyclines; and quinolones, especially ciprofloxacin.…”

“…Ao invés do uso do recobrimento conjuntival, deve-se priorizar o uso da membrana amniótica em ceratopatias bolhosas, devido à excelente evolução proporcionada por esse tratamento, principalmente no que tange à dor ocular (17)(18) . Como a síndrome de Lyell é considerada rara, após o seu diagnóstico deve-se descartar doenças infecciosas ou doenças depressoras do sistema imunológico, como a síndrome de imunodeficiência adquirida (SIDA), pois muitos trabalhos apontam-na como um dos principais fatores de risco para o desencadeamento da SL, seja pelo aumento do consumo de sulfonamidas e outras drogas, seja pela debilitação do sistema imune (19)(20)(21) .…”
