Stevens Johnson Syndrome

[sunset]

Of "Stevens Johnson Syndrome". I have never heard of this until they diagnosed my nephew with it. It is rare, but its popping up more and more. Even some of the hospital staff never saw it..

Here is a link..

Stevens Johnson Syndrome Foundation

Any medication can bring this on, so its good to know about. They have a list of course and I was floored when I saw Motrin.. They think my nephew got it from Levaquin or Biaxin. He felt weird on both meds...

I want people to be aware of this because the longer it goes undiagnosed, the worse it will be for the patient. Even death..
