EB13.0 Stevens-Johnson syndrome

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01

Stevens-Johnson syndrome is an immune-complex–mediated hypersensitivity disorder involving mucous membranes (conjunctivae, oral mucosa and genital mucosa) with, by definition, skin involvement limited to no more than 9% body surface area. It is related to toxic epidermal necrolysis and shares many of the same triggers, notably drugs, but the inflammation is centred on and close to mucosal surfaces. Although mortality is low, acute morbidity is high and conjunctival involvement has the potential to cause blindness.
