pubmed:abstractText
A 54-year-old man was receiving allopurinol therapy to treat hyperuricemia that followed an inferior wall, myocardial infarction. After three weeks of allopurinol therapy, the patient developed signs and symptoms of toxic epidermal necrolysis that included pseudomembranous conjunctivitis with ulcerative lesions on the lids and conjunctiva, and punctate corneal staining with subsequent corneal abrasions. Treatment with topical antibiotics and artificial tears relieved the symptoms somewhat, but punctate staining and dry eyes persisted after 14 months of follow-up. Bilateral corneal ulcers developed and necessitated conjunctival flaps in each eye. Visual acuity in each eye was 20/40.
