Abstract

Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a severe disease which is characterized by fever and mucocutaneous lesions. It has also been described as a small airway compromise in the form of bronchiolitis obliterans. We report a 22-year-old male patient with Stevens-Johnson syndrome due to antibiotic and antiepileptic drug treatment for brain abscess. After the improvement of mucocutaneous lesions, he went to the emergency department because of coughing and progressive shortness of breath. Pulmonary function test revealed a very severe irreversible obstructive defect and a computed tomography scan showed a mosaic attenuation pattern. We discuss this case of bronchiolitis obliterans associated with Stevens-Johnson because of its low incidence.
