Abstract
Lyell's syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare but serious drug-like toxiderma. Treated as a recent extensive burn in intensive care, its management must be urgent, and adapted in order to improve the vital prognosis of patients and reduce their mortality. We report a severe case of Lyell's syndrome occurring 24 hours after oral administration of an anti-inflammatory drug (ibuprofen) as a self-medication in an eight-year-old child.
