Abstract
|
|
|
|
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is an unpredictable, acute inflammatory systemic condition that involves injury to the skin, mucous membranes, and bowel and respiratory epithelium. Pulmonary complications are often observed and usually show an acute form. However, chronic pulmonary complications are rare and little is known about the clinical manifestations. We herein report a 51-year-old woman who presented with chronic pulmonary complications after recovery from TEN. A diagnosis of chronic bronchiolitis obliterans was made with upper respiratory tract obstruction and bronchiectasis.
