Background Steven-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is usually an immune-mediated hypersensitive reaction complex caused by drugs (Foster, 2011). It is characterized by existing symptoms of restlessness and fever followed by rapid onset of erythema or purpura and plaque. Skin lesions progress to epidermal necrosis and shedding. Mucous membranes develop in 92% to 100% of patients, usually two or more different sites (High & Nirken, 2012). This syndrome was first reported in 1922, when American pediatrician Albert Mason Stevens and Frank Chabris Johnson reported two cases of boys aged 7 and 8.

On this day, on this terrible day, I pretended to bless. This clock will take several hours to wait at the AIDS office, but this is a few minutes. I waited a few months and when I leave the hospital I hardly know that it is over.

My son received seven intravenous injections during the 8th hospitalization. Meanwhile - even in the hands of experienced nurses - multiple intravenous injections were inserted. Like many Stevenson Johnson syndrome patients, he also developed urethritis. His eyes are painful, accompanied by severe phobia - light sensitivity - and he must have multiple painful and eye-blind eye drops everyday. He felt a great pain all through the hospital, only being able to drink alcohol for the past three days, he could only eat a limited amount of soft food. When you leave the hospital, the skin on the lip completely falls, the pink skin remains, then it is hurt. For two weeks, including discharge from the hospital, his lips crusted, torn, bleeding heavily, falling over, and began again. Even now, even after three weeks from the crisis of Stevens Johnson, his lips still have cracks and bloody spots.
