Abstract
By facilitating access to dermatological expertise, Store and Forward Teledermatology (SFTD) enables reference centres to remotely diagnose and manage rare diseases.[1] Epidermal necrolysis (EN), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic EN (TEN), is a life-threatening condition that is mainly drug induced.[2] We investigated the quality of requests and management of suspected EN sent by SFTD to our dermatology department. This single-centre retrospective study included all SFTD requests received in our dermatology department, which is a reference centre for severe drug reactions, for a suspicion of EN between January 2016 and December 2020. For the reference centre, fully exploiting SFTD capacities aims also to remotely guide the non-transferred patient by assisting physicians by the diffusion of management guidelines.
