A five-year-old girl with a life-threatening rash

Lyell's syndrome, or toxic epidermal necrolysis, is a rare, potentially life-threatening mucocutaneous disease, usually provoked by the administration of a drug and characterized by acute necrosis of the epidermis. The drugs most frequently incriminated are nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs, chemotherapeutics, antibiotics, and anticonvulsants. Although the cases where amoxicillin/clavulanic acid suspension caused this condition were described, in our case, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid suspension was probably not the cause, given that the girl had been treated twice in the past with this drug without side effects.
