What is Stevens Johnson Syndrome?
Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is a skin disease that can cause
rash, skin peeling, and sores on the mucous membranes or develop
into the often fatal Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis. Stevens Johnson
Syndrome is an immune-complex-mediated hypersensitivity disorder
that can be caused by using several popular drugs. In fact,
researches have recently found that the popular drug Bextra
may be a primary cause....
What Causes SJS?
Medications that often provoke this extreme allergic reaction are widely used
by both adults and children. They include antibiotics such as penicillin and
bactrim; anti-convulsants such as phenobarbital and Dilantin; and prescription
pain relievers--called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)--such as
Bextra and Daypro. And perhaps even more worrisome,
over-the-counter NSAIDs such as ibuprofen--including Children's Motrin
and Children's Advil--can also trigger the reaction.

Stevens Johnson Syndrome Lawyer
There are relatively few firms nationwide that are handling Stevens
Johnson Syndrome cases. You deserve a lawyer and law firm that has
the knowledge, skill, experience and the economic power to go after
the large Pharmaceutical companies. Our firm is one of the few in
the country to actually try cases against the drug industry. We
strive to maintain a small firm feel for all of our clients. We
limit the number of cases we take to allow each of our clients to
get individual attention. We will take the opportunity to travel to
your home and get to know you and your family personally. Remember
that we handle cases nationwide.
Stevens Johnson Syndrome Symptoms
Stevens Johnson Syndrome typically affects the mucous membranes of
the oral cavity, eyes, nostril, and both the anal and genital
regions. Sometimes, the disease progresses to full Toxic Epidermal
Necrolysis which often results in death. It may or may not be
associated with skin lesions elsewhere on the body. Oropharyngeal
(mouth) lesions may be so intolerable as to prevent eating, and
there may be recurring oral ulcers. Often, the skin lesions may look
like a target-lesion or as bullae (bubble-like in shape)...
