Abstract

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare, life-threatening mucocutaneous condition, which may occur as an adverse reaction to a number of medications. The anitifungal agent, fluconazole, has been associated with TEN in limited reports, mainly in adults with HIV infection. We describe the case of a neonate with liver disease who developed TEN, presumably induced by fluconazole.
