Steven Johnson syndrome is not new.
You guys should stop causing panic always.
We see cases every now and then.
Its an advers hypersensitivity reaction to some medications example penicillin based medications or sulphonamides.

Folks no need to panic. Just alert your doctor if u react to any drug by itching or feeling dizzy for examples. SJS is not new. So this is no news.

It's obvious that something/someone wants to destroy Nigeria.

Fist Ebola, then one other virus like that. Now this....

Na wao.name sef dan dey cause disease

[quote author=lekjons post=45597805]just watch how fools will blame Buhari for this..Yes na, what do u expect..

Baba gbo adura... eledumare Baba wa... which kin disease be this? we reject u in Jesus name!

smithe113:
how is steven johnson syndrome a new disease?........2 months ago in my paediatric posting as a medical student.....saw 2 children dat developed it as a result of hypersensitivity rxn to carbamizipine.......one died nd 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

DanNafada:
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.

i dont want to believe that a whole minister of health is calling SJS new.

WTF!! i dont even know how many cases i have seen, while its uncommon its not a surprise anymore.

Steven Johnsons syndrome isn't new to naija na...had about two cases in Ubth last year and 2years ago..... it's mainly an adverse reaction to some drugs....especially NSAIDS ...and about it being contagious,i don't think so..
Self-medication is so wrong...I really wish Nigerians would be more enlightened about d dangers of self medication....

imagine d last tym my grandma visited, I caught her searching my room...when I asked her y she was in my room, she said she was looking for red tablets...(she believes all red tablets are blood medicines) It took d intervention of my parents for her to give me all d red tablets in her possesion....

Self medication is so wrong

Sulphonamides not NSAIDs

Thanks for the enlightenment.

End time things

End time diseases as my friend will say!
Bur this syndrome is not diff from Ebola now!
God save us!
Unknown illnesses is far from us!
We will only hear of it but can never come near our dwellings!

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

No sir...it has no parasitic or microbial origin

A certain Sudanese-American Basketballer succumbed to this disease about 6yrs ago.

Are we supposed to be fearful of this new deadly disease?

Abeg ask this disease to take its place in the line of deadly diseases that is supposed to b making us fearful.

HIV , Ebola , Lassa, Malaria, Cancer

Should we lose sleep because a new disease has arrived?

Me? I will continue to sleep well tonight.

Exactly!

This has been around.

It can be regarded as a type of adverse drug reaction. It is caused by hypersensitivity to certain drugs and infections in certain people.

And definitely isn't contagious!

A horrible and misleading press release I must say!

Imagine a minister of health (Prof) and consultant saying such!

...

They want to do us government magic by raising false alarm to steal the money.

Oga moderator..this your headline is catchy ooo but the content of the thread is well exaggerated.

SJS has been in existence for many years . It's from reactions to drugs and has better prognosis than TEN(toxic epidermal necrolysis)

It can affect anyone

Another SCAM "Fantastically corrupt" EVERY government FOR NAIJA GET WAY TO SCAM. no be only SJS Na OBJ. foolish LEADERS

Nawa o buhari sef.

*rolls eyes*

wit did disease all stephen and Johnson don get prob 4 naija...Baba God save naija ooo we r still complaining about d economy syndrome nw anoda anoda disease won surface....first Ebola,laser fever nw sjs bad news everyday.

alexistaiwo:
hmmmmmmmm.
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.
