The main causes are drug and viral infections. Unfortunately, no expert consensus on treating this disease exists, and a standard therapy is absent. Up to now, glucocorticoids combined with gamma globulin are commonly used in clinical practice, but their efficacy is highly controversial. This study reports on a 7-year-old girl with TEN who did not respond to traditional therapy, such as methylprednisolone combined with gamma globulin, but was finally cured with an additional low-dose etanercept. The results showed that etanercept therapy in paediatric TEN is safe, reliable and worth recommending.Keywords: child toxic epidermal necrolysis, etanercept, glucocorticoids, gamma globulin |
