[ @entity9374 . XXXX and @entity137 : an important diagnostic distinction].

@entity1 @entity137 @entity6715 @entity115 @entity39 @entity177 @entity288 @entity2025 @entity2258 @entity9374
Three @entity1 , a @entity1 aged 10 and two @entity1 aged 59 and 64 years, had @entity9374 , @entity6715 ( @entity6715 ) and @entity137 ( @entity137 ), respectively. @entity6715 and @entity137 are rare illnesses with a high morbidity and mortality. The aetiology is mainly iatrogenic: a hypersensitivity reaction to certain pharmaceutical prescriptions. @entity6715 and @entity137 should be differentiated from the more frequent @entity9374 , a self-limiting disease without important residual symptoms, which is usually initiated by @entity2025 . @entity6715 and @entity137 are variants in a spectrum of exfoliative dermatoses with @entity39 . @entity6715 and @entity137 on the one hand and @entity9374 on the other can be distinguished on the basis of aetiology, clinical symptoms and histopathology. The distinction can, however, be difficult, notably in the early stages. The @entity1 recovered completely. The first @entity1 was treated with @entity288 and also recovered; she was thought to have developed the syndrome as a reaction to malarial prophylactics. The third @entity1 died, despite extensive treatment, of @entity177 and sloughing of 70% of the skin, probably as a reaction to @entity115 given for @entity2258 .
