Reply to: “Prognosis and management of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis”

To the Editor: We read the editorial by Schneider and Cohen with great interest.1 We appreciate the authors' affirmation that malignancy and renal failure are important predictors of mortality in pediatric Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS-TEN), as we previously demonstrated.2 The authors cited their recent publication highlighting the importance of supportive care.3 We could not agree more. It is of utmost importance that both children and adults with SJS-TEN receive multispecialty supportive care that includes dermatology, critical care, skilled nursing, nephrology, ophthalmology, wound care, nutrition support, respiratory therapy, pain management, infectious disease, hematology-oncology, and hepatology.
