TI  - Treatment of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) with low dose intravenous 
      immunoglobulin in child.
PG  - 205-7
AB  - Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN, Lyell's 
      disease) are severe, episodic, acute mucocutaneous reaction that may be caused by 
      various factors particularly drugs. Treatment is primarily supportive care and 
      there are no specific therapy regimens. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has 
      recently been shown to be a useful and safe therapy in paediatric patients with 
      SJS/TEN, though no such case has so far been reported from Pakistan. The authors 
      report the experience with low dose IVIG (0.1 g/kg/day for four consecutive days 
      for treating a 3 years old boy with toxic epidermal necrolysis with favourable 
      outcome without early complications.
