Levaquin Stevens Johnson Syndrome

Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is a rare inflammatory skin disorder that can be fatal. It causes lesions in the mouth, eyes, and on the body, and can spread to the internal organs. Although the majority of cases occur in people between the ages of 20 and 40, SJS can occur at any age.

Permanent skin damage and scarring can occur. Lesions and blisters that occur internally on organs can cause serious inflammation of the lungs, heart, and kidneys. Up to 27 percent of those afflicted with Stevens Johnson Syndrome or related illnesses incur long- term eye damage or vision loss. As many as 15 percent of those who develop the syndrome will die from the condition.
