ICD-11 code : EB13.0;
Preferred Label : Stevens-Johnson syndrome;
ICD-11 definition : Stevens-Johnson syndrome is an immune-complex–mediated hypersensitivity disorder involving
mucous membranes (conjunctivae, oral mucosa and genital mucosa) with, by definition,
skin involvement limited to no more than 9% body surface area. It is related to toxic
epidermal necrolysis and shares many of the same triggers, notably drugs, but the
inflammation is centred on and close to mucosal surfaces. Although mortality is low,
acute morbidity is high and conjunctival involvement has the potential to cause blindness.;
