Abstract

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare and life-threatening allergic drug reaction. We report a 26-year-old young female with end-stage renal disease on maintenance hemodialysis developing TEN while on filgrastim and phenytoin. It was successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulins and steroids.

Keywords: End stage renal disease; filgrastim; hemodialysis; phenytoin; toxic epidermal necrolysis.
