Abstract

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (Lyell's syndrome) with erythematous skin lesions and bulla formation developed in a 4-year-old girl. An accurate diagnosis using the cryostal technique on the top of a bulla was available within 1 h of hospital admission. The course was unusually mild, probably because of early treatment with corticosteroids. Skin prick tests revealed salicylamide as the agent responsible for inducing the disease. The patient was advised to avoid this substance for the rest of her life.
