Woman 'burns' From Inside Out After Reaction To Friend's Medicine by Akag(m): 4:45pm On Dec 11, 2014 |
A young mother is in intensive care after having a rare but serious reaction to a friend's prescription antibiotics that caused her to "burn" from the inside out. Yassmeen Castanada, 19, wasn't feeling well on Thanksgiving, so she took a pill that her friend had left over from a previous illness. Soon, Castanada's eyes, nose and throat began to burn, and she was rushed to the emergency room, her mother, Laura Corona, told ABC News. Her body erupted in blisters over the next few days, Corona said. She had to be sedated and placed on a ventilator. "Her face changed within four days," Corona told ABC News. "I would wipe her face and all the skin was just falling off." Doctors diagnosed Castanada with Stevens- Johnson syndrome , a rare but serious drug reaction that can occur even when drugs are taken as prescribed by a doctor, said Dr. Joshua Zeichner, a dermatology professor at the Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan who was not involved in treating Castanada. "You're not truly burned, but what happens is you have compromised the skin barrier function," Zeichner said. read more abcnews.go.com/Health/woman-burns-inside-reaction-friends-medicine/story?id=27478608 |
