Abstract
This study aims to characterize the timeline and clinical features of onset, progression, and management of drug-induced epidermal necrolysis in pediatric patients. Sixteen pediatric patients were retrospectively identified and selected if under age 18 years at admission with one identified culprit drug exposure. Culprit drugs were antiepileptics (12/16, 75%) and antibiotics (4/16, 25%). Notably, anti-epileptic drugs (AED) had delayed onset and reported dose escalations that precipitated symptom onset; thus, patients prescribed AED with or without planned dose escalations should be monitored for prodromal symptoms longer than the typical onset window.

As a teaching vehicle, the Journal is still unsurpassed and it will continue to present the latest on topics such as hemangiomas, atopic dermatitis, rare and unusual presentations of childhood diseases, neonatal medicine, and therapeutic advances. As important progress is made in any area involving infants and children, Pediatric Dermatology is there to publish the findings.
