Ȉ The papillary region is
composed of loose areolar
connective tissue. It is named
for its fingerlike projections
called papil lae that extend
toward the epidermis. The
papillae provide the dermis
with a "bumpy" surface that
interdigitates with the
epidermis, strengthening the
connection between the two
layers of skin.
Papillary Region
Ȉ In the palms, fingers, soles, and toes, the
influence of the papillae projecting into the
epidermis forms contours in the skin's
surface. These are called friction ridges,
because they help the hand or foot to grasp
by increasing friction. Friction ridges occur
in patterns that are genetically and
epigenetically determined and are therefore
unique to the individual, making it possible
to use fingerprints or footprints as a means
of identification.
REI LVR REGION
The reticular region lies deep in
the papillary region and is
usually much thicker. It is
composed of dense irregular
connective tissue, and receives
its name from the dense
concentration of collagenous,
elastic, and reticular fibres that
weave throughout it. These
protein fibres give the dermis
its properties of strength,
extensibility, and elasticity.
REI LVR REGION
Also located within the
reticular region are the roots of
the hair, sebaceous glands,
sweat glands, receptors, nails,
and blood vessels.
Tattoo ink is held in the dermis.
Stretch marks from pregnancy
are also located in the dermis.
Ȉ The hypodermis is not part of the
skin, and lies below the dermis.
Its purpose is to attach the skin
to underlying bone and muscle as
well as supplying it with blood
vessels and nerves. It consists of
loose connective tissue and
elastin. The main cell types are
fibroblasts, macrophages and
adipocytes (the hypodermis
contains 50% of body fat). Fat
serves as padding and insulation
for the body.
Ȉ Microorganisms
like Staphylococcus
epidermis colonize the skin surface.
The density of skin flora depends on
region of the skin. The disinfected
skin surface gets re-colonized from
bacteria residing in the deeper
areas of the hair follicle, gut and
urogenital openings.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome is an immune-
complexȂmediated hypersensitivity
disorder that may be caused by many drugs,
viral infections, and malignancies.
Although not currently relevant to the
practice of emergency medicine, research
into the pathophysiology of SJS/TEN may
soon allow for the development of tests to
aid in the diagnosis as well as to identify
those at risk.
PVHOPHYSIOLOGY
Pathologically, cell death results causing
separation of the epidermis from the dermis.
The death receptor, Fas, and its ligand, FasL,
have been linked to the process, as has TNF-
alpha. Researchers have found increased
soluble FasL levels in the sera of patients with
SJS/TEN before skin detachment or inset of
mucosal lesions.

) is a cytokine involved in
systemic inflammation and is a member of a group
of cytokines that stimulate the acute phase reaction.
Ȉ The primary role of TNF is in the regulation
of immune cells. TNF is able to induce apoptotic cell
death, to induce inflammation, and to
inhibit tumorigenesis and viral replication.
Dysregulation of TNF production has been
implicated in a variety of human diseases, as well
as cancer.
PVHOPHYSIOLOGY
%#Ä!" (Greek 2 , cell; and

molecules that are used extensively
in cellular communication.
PVHOPHYSIOLOGY
They are proteins ,peptides ,
or glycoproteins. The term cytokine
encompasses a large and diverse
family of polypeptide regulators that
are produced widely throughout the
body by cells of diverse embryological
origin.
The term "cytokine" has been used to
refer to the immuno modulating
agents (interleukins, interferons, etc.).
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a rare, serious
disorder in which your skin and mucous
membranes react severely to a medication
or infection.
Often, Stevens-Johnson syndrome begins
with flu-like symptoms, followed by a
painful red or purplish rash that spreads and
blisters, eventually causing the top layer of
your skin to die and shed.
SEVEN JONHSON SYDROME
(SJS)
Ȉ Stevens-Johnson syndrome is an emergency
medical condition that usually requires
hospitalization. Treatment focuses on eliminating
the underlying cause, controlling symptoms and
minimizing complications.
Ȉ Recovery after Stevens-Johnson syndrome can
take weeks to months, depending on the severity
of your condition. If your doctor determines that
your case of Stevens-Johnson syndrome was
caused by medication, you'll need to permanently
avoid the medication and all others related to it.
Ú The exact cause of Stevens-Johnson syndrome can't
always be identified. Usually, the condition is an allergic
reaction in response to medication, infection or illness.
,!)!#"
)
Medications are most often the cause of Stevens-
Johnson syndrome. Drugs commonly associated
with Stevens-Johnson syndrome include:
Anti-gout medications, such as allopurinol
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Sulfonamides and penicillins, which are used to
treat infections
Anticonvulsants, which are used to treat seizures
Ȉ ".)!#
)
Infections that can cause Stevens-Johnson
syndrome include:
Herpes (herpes simplex or herpes zoster)
Influenza
HIV
Diphtheria
Typhoid
Hepatitis

In some cases, Stevens-Johnson syndrome may be
caused by physical stimuli, such as radiation
therapy or ultraviolet light.

)
The first and most important step in
treating Stevens-Johnson syndrome is to
discontinue any medications that may be
causing it. Because it's difficult to
determine exactly which drug may be
causing the problem, your doctor may
recommend that you stop taking all
nonessential medications.

Currently there are no standard recommendations for
treating Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Supportive care
you're likely to receive while hospitalized includes:

)"- Because skin loss can result in
significant loss of fluid from your body, replacing
fluids is an important part of treatment. You may
receive fluids and nutrients through a tube placed
through your nose and into your stomach
(nasogastric tube).
Ä!"
"!"&- Cool, wet compresses will help
soothe blisters while they heal. Your health care
team may gently remove any dead skin, and then
place a dressing with a topical anesthetic over the
affected areas, if needed.
È Medications commonly used in the
treatment of Stevens-Johnson
syndrome include:
Pain medication to reduce discomfort
Antihistamines to relieve itching
Antibiotics to control infection, when
needed
Topical steroids to reduce skin
inflammation
Ȉ In addition, you may receive one of the following types
of medications that are currently being studied in the
treatment of Stevens-Johnson syndrome:
Intravenous corticosteroids. These drugs may
lessen the severity of your symptoms and
shorten your recovery time if started within a
day or two of when symptoms first appear.
Immunoglobulin intravenous (IGIV). This
medication contains antibodies that may help
your immune system halt the process of
Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
Ä!"
&.!"&
If a large area of your body is affected,
skin grafting Ȅ removing skin from one
area of your body and attaching it to
another Ȅ may be necessary to help
you heal. This treatment is only rarely
required.
If the underlying cause of Stevens-
Johnson syndrome can be eliminated
and the skin reaction stopped, your
skin may begin to grow again within
several days. In severe cases, full
recovery may take several months.
Ȉ It's difficult to prevent an initial attack of Stevens-
Johnson syndrome because you don't know what
will trigger it. However, if you had Stevens-Johnson
syndrome once, and your doctor determined that it
was caused by medication, be sure to avoid that
medication and others in the same class to prevent
another attack. If the herpes virus caused your
reaction, you may need to take daily antiviral
medications to prevent a recurrence.
Ȉ A recurrence of Stevens-Johnson syndrome is
usually more severe than the first episode and, in
many cases, it can be fatal.
