Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a severe disease often leading to death or to mucosal, particularly ocular, after effects. The principle drugs responsible are antibacterial sulfonamides, anti-epileptics, non-steroid anti-inflammatories, allopurinol and chlormezanone. We report a series of 38 cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis, observed in Dakar, imputable to thiacetazone and lethal in 60 percent of cases.
