Extractions: Mike Kudla's fog has lifted. After being seriously ill for two weeks in January, the Ohio State freshman defensive end now understands the severity of the medical crisis that nearly claimed his life. ``It was definitely a weird experience being so close to dying,'' Kudla said Wednesday. ``I was pretty much out of it. People were talking to me, but I didn't know what was going on. It wasn't until about a week and a half ago that I knew how bad it was.'' The Division III co-defensive player of the year, Associated Press All-Ohio pick and a Beacon Journal all-star as a senior at Highland, Kudla thought he had recovered from a late-season bout with mononucleosis that wasn't diagnosed until he came home for Thanksgiving. He was cleared to play in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 3 and saw action as the backup to Darrion Scott as the Buckeyes defeated Miami. He was on top of the world in Arizona.

The Horror Of The Stevens Johnson Syndrome - Dr. Stephen Byrnes
Put the power of alternative medicine, naturopathy, and holistic nutrition to work for you. THE HORROR OF STEVENS JOHNSON syndrome. BY STEPHEN BYRNES, ND, RNCP
http://www.powerhealth.net/articles3.htm

Extractions: THE HORROR OF STEVENS JOHNSON SYNDROME BY STEPHEN BYRNES, ND, RNCP "The pediatrician looked at Julie and told me she had a viral exanthem," Farrell said. "The doctor checked Julie's ears and noticed that pus-filled blisters had formed on Julie's ear drum. He thought it was unusual. He then changed the diagnosis to chicken pox with an ear infection. He told me to keep giving her the phenobarbitol and also prescribed an antibiotic for the ear infection." Julie got steadily worse. "My baby's face was unrecognizable. She looked like she had been deep-fried," said an agitated Farrell, obviously upset at having to relive the horrific events. "Finally, an older, very experienced nurse boldly said to the doctor and me that Julie did not have the chicken pox, but Stevens Johnson Syndrome. She said she knew because she had seen other cases before. The doctor did not believe her and left the room. I was bewildered: "What is wrong with my little girl?" A short while later, another doctor came into Julie's room to find Jean Farrell sobbing hysterically. "He asked me what was wrong with my daughter and I told him that nobody seemed to know. Then, I mentioned that the nurse thought Julie had Johnson's disease. The doctor looked at me and said, 'Stevens Johnson Syndrome?' I blurted out 'That's it.' He took one look at Julie and immediately removed the IV with the phenobarbitol. He then called the Burn Unit, an opthamologist, and an infectious disease specialist. Finally, somebody knew what was happening."

Extractions: Stevens Johnson Syndrome by Stephanie Harper, M.D. STEVENS JOHNSON SYNDROME Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is a rare vesiculobullous disease characterized by an acute cutaneous eruption that involves the skin and mucosal membranes. The condition was first described in 1922 as a generalized cutaneous eruption with inflamed buccal mucosa and purulent conjunctivitis. The two patients in the initial report went on to have visually significant ocular residua due to severe keratopathy despite resolution of the cutaneous manifestations. Thus, the authors, Dr. Stevens and Dr. Johnson, concluded that "this condition deserves to be considered a definite entity" (1). Epidemiology Because SJS is a rare condition, estimates of its incidence and prevalence are challenging. Hospital record reviews have provided the most useful information. The records of patients hospitalized between 1972 and 1986 with a diagnosis of EM-minor, SJS and TEN from a large urban area in the United States were reviewed and the incidence of hospitalization for one of these conditions was 4.2 per 10 person-year (2). The incidence of hospitalization for TEN alone was 0.5 per 10

Extractions: The Stevens Johnson Syndrome Foundation (Julie Foundation for allergic drug reactions) is a non-profit organization. The purpose of the foundation is to provide the public and medical communities with information on adverse allergic drug reactions. Our goal is to make the public aware of adverse reactions, so that a quick diagnosis may be made and the offending drug stopped as soon as possible. Allergic drug reactions are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Less then 1% of all drug reactions are reported to the FDA. The public needs to know what to look for when taking any drug and seek medical attention immediately in the event of a reaction in order to prevent permanent damage. The SJS Foundation is also doing medical research into SJS/TEN The Stevens Johnson Syndrome Support Group originated in May of 1995. The Group's purpose is to provide emotional support for people with Stevens Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis.

Parents of stricken girl sue makers of Children's Motrin Among the most feared complications of drug therapy are the exfoliative skin disorderserythema multiforme (EM), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Both diseases, SJS and TEN, are primarily, if not solely, caused by drugs among adults, and approximately 50% are drug-related among all ages. The most common drugs associated with SJS and TEN are antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and anti-convulsants. Prescription NSAIDs, such as Bextra (valdecoxib) and Daypro (oxaprozin), are one of the leading classes of drugs that cause SJS and TEN reactions. In many countries, increasing rates of skin eruptions are attributed to (NSAIDs). NSAIDs have played in increasing role in the etiology or cause of TEN, and it has been reported in the medical literature that some NSAIDs that have a long half-life carry a higher risk of SJS or TEN. History In 1922, Stevens and Johnson described two children with fever and stomatitis (mouth ulcers), severe disseminated conjunctivitis (eye inflammation) and cutaneous (skin) eruptions. It soon became evident that severe forms of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) could lead to toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and that both diseases could be induced by the same drugs.

Medications associated with erythema multiforme include sulfonamides, penicillins, barbiturates, and phenytoin. Associated infections include herpes simplex and mycoplasma infections. The exact cause is unknown. The disorder is believed to involve damage to the blood vessels of the skin with subsequent damage to skin tissues. Approximately 90% of erythema multiforme cases are associated with herpes simplex or Mycoplasma infections. The disorder occurs primarily in children and young adults.
