Abstract
The antitubercular drugs are associated with different cutaneous adverse drug reactions. Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a severe form of cutaneous reaction. Although it is rare, it carries a high mortality rate. We report a case of a 75-year-old man with abdominal tuberculosis, who developed pyrazinamide-induced TEN.
