Abstract
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a life-threatening, immune-mediated reaction, characterized by severe cutaneous and mucosal blisters and erosions. It often presents with flu-like symptoms, followed by a maculopapular, urticarial, purpuric or erythema multiforme-like eruption, which then evolves into blisters and sheet-like erosions. Presentation with pustules, however, is not well described in the English literature, and may lead to delayed diagnosis. We present two unusual cases of TEN that initially presented with pustular lesions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
