RESUMO

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (NET) and Steven Johnson syndrome (SJS) are infrequent mucocutaneous hypersensitivity reactions with systemic involvement. They are predominantly caused by drugs. We report the case of a patient over 60 years of age who presented with extensive mucocutaneous and ophthalmic injury with hemodynamic failure, associated with the rapid onset of lamotrigine in a short period of time. Although the incidence is low, the mortality rate is high. It requires early suspicious and diagnosis in addition to an interdisciplinary therapeutic approach.
