Abstract

From 1965 to 1973, 75 patients were admitted to the Children's Hospital of Buffalo, with toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). A review of their records show an equal ratio of males to females, with 73 whites and only 2 blacks. No patient was septic with staphylococci, and there was only one death. A comparison of treatments indicates that the disease is probably self-limited and not influenced by antibiotics or corticosteroids.
