Abstract EN
Severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR) is life-threatening.
It consists of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), and generalized bullous fixed drug eruptions (GBFDE).
In the past years, emerging studies have provided better understandings regarding the pathogenesis of these diseases.
These diseases have unique presentations and distinct pathomechanisms.
Therefore, theoretically, the options of treatments might be different among various SCARs.
However, due to the rarity of these diseases, sufficient evidence is still lacking to support the best choice of treatment for patients with SCAR.
Herein, we will provide a concise review with an emphasis on the characteristics and treatments of each SCAR.
It may serve as a guidance based on the current best of knowledge and may shed light on the directions for further investigations.
