Abstract: | We conducted a telephone survey of reports of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. We identified six cases of SJS or TEN after vaccination without other obvious triggers, suggesting that SJS and TEN might very rarely be caused by vaccination. Confirmation of this hypothesis will likely require controlled studies. |
