So sorry about your ordeal. Please read through these links www.mayoclinic.com/health/stevens-johnson-syndrome/DS00940 and www.webmd.com/allergies/stevens-johnson-syndrome-11013 or www.mayoclinic.com/health/stevens-johnson-syndrome/DS00940/DSECTION=treatments-and-drugs

Please do let us know if they help out. Speed recover dear.

Yeah, it is actually SJS, it is most rimes caused by drugs , it could be fatal, buh sometimes it could also be benign, its a 50/50 tin, although d 3cases I have seen n helped managed all turned out well, n resolved with full recovery, I believe dat 'll be d portion of ur sis, just stay calm.
Hope they have dermatologist in d hospital, they re the ones dat manage such! They re some liquid drugs they combine with an oral disinfectants and use in rinsing d mouth b.d, it really helps. Buh she wwill be fine, I believe, just pray n let her be compliant with treatment. N never give her drugs on self medicatiin subsequently

Thanks a lot but she cant go to toilet and her tummy is getting very big , and again if she pass urine, its very small and brownish in colour and she cant see with one of the eyes now, pls the hospital people said that we will sign for surgery yesterday and thats why we are very scared, Are you in Aba? is there any help for her to go to toilet and stop vommitting/

oh, I am so sorry.....

Steven Johnson's syndrome is a spectrum, ranging from just skin excoriations to a multisystemic disorder, usually caused by drugs.........

well, I hope the docs are treating her well there, cos now that she is having oliguria and hematuria......

let's pray for the best!!!

God, please help this little girl recover. You are in my tot and prayer.

thanks @ all for your advice but God knows the best, she has died.

So sorry about that.
Gosh!

So sorry about ur sister. I don't know about the surgery as I'm not a doctor but I don't think surgery is supposed to be admitted. But I know of a lady friend of mine who had such ailment few yrs ago. She was taken to St. Dominic savio hospital at Nkpor, Anambra state. She later got well and now looking finer again. No surgery and she recovered. I don't know if u guys can find a means to taker her there. Ur sister's case is even less to compare what dis lady went thru as I witnessed it myself, and they said it's reaction to sulfur or whatever. All d same, my prayer goes for her. She'll be fine just have faith in God as we did then ok.
