TENS or Toxic Epidermal Necrolsysis syndrome is also known as Lyell's Syndrome. It is a more severe form of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS). This is a debilitating skin condition which can be caused by side effects of several different medications.

- Eyelids swelling
- Flu –like symptoms including fever
Toxic Epidermal Necroslysis is clinically diagnosed when greater than 30% of the body is covered in skin lesions. People suffering from SJS and TENS can seek help at the Burn Care Centers across the country.
