- Abstract
We report two consecutive cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis presented to our emergency department in the past 5 months. Both patients had history of fever prior to the onset of skin manifestations and showed radiological findings suggestive of COVID-19 pneumonia and elevated D dimers. ALDEN score was used to assess the drug causality, which showed probable and possible associations, respectively. In this report, along with brief review of literature, we highlight the possible role of viral etiology, that is SARS-Cov2, in triggering toxic epidermal necrolysis.
