Dermatol Ther. 2019 Jul;32(4):e12995. doi: 10.1111/dth.12995. Epub 2019 Jun 28.

Abstract

Miliaria crystallina is a skin disorder that often erupts in the process of febrile diseases or under hot and humid climatic conditions. Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare, acute, and life-threatening mucocutaneous disease with a mortality rate of 25-35%. There has been no inevitable connection between the two diseases among previously reported cases, but we observed a case of secondary miliaria crystallina a woman with herbal remedies-induced TEN during the therapeutic process.

Keywords: TEN; herbal remedy; miliaria crystallina.
