This is not a new disease. It has been documented long ago. It is rare and extreme complication of drug reaction. It can be fatal if not treated early. So pls let not Nigerians panic.

but y?

hmmmm

Seems like an advance case of cutaneous Leishmaniasis. Omo diseases plenty for dis world ooo.

Isn't this a side effect of a drug used to treat excess uric acid in the body? SJS isn't transferable but just a reaction to the drug. Once the reaction s noticed, use of the drug should cease.

Na wah o. Again!

May God help us....

this your SJS is nothing compared to our own Mohammed Buhari Syndrome (MBS). MBS is a slow killer which symptoms include high fuel price, no power supply, nonexistent forex exchange, non payment of salaries and so forth. abeg any disease wey wan come Nigeria we no fear. with the recent removal of fuel subsidy. WE ARE DEAD ALREADY, WE JUST HAVEN'T REALISE IT YET.
enough said

which can lead to suicide.

Nevirapine effect atimes

My doctor friends tell me it is just something related to drug reactions. Not that it can pass from one person to another like the big one. Just spreading panic to an already panicked population.

.

God save our life true in dis our common country (nigeria)

how is steven johnson syndrome new..it is a drug reaction that has been occurring since God knows when .....2 months ago in my paediatric posting as a medical student.....saw 2 children that developed it as a result of hypersensitivity rxn to carbamizipine.......one died and one survived......even they developed one worse than SJS which is Toxic epidermal necrolysis(TEN) in which >30% of the body surface was affected.

management involves stopping the drug; preventing infection, as the skin barrier to infection has been broken and management of complications that may arise especially fluid and electrolyte imbalance.....improvement is rapid in uncomplicated cases.

other common drugs that may cause it include.....septrin, some HIV drugs and fansidar etc

wickedtuna:
not to worry,its white ppl illness

Okay

I cover myself and my family with the blood of Jesus Christ. Amen. You this Steven Johnson disease Die! In Jesus name. amen

This one will hit Buhari if he doesn't stop all these aimless junketing.

Foolish old man brining all sorts of nonsense on this country.

Further proof that Nigeria is doomed, if our own minister of health does not know enough about Stevens-Johnson Syndrome to prevent him from putting out this really ignorant statement.
Wow.
