I read that Erythema multiform is considered separate to SJS and TEN. Previously, the condition
was thought to be part of a clinical spectrum of disease that included erythema
minor, erythema major (often equated with Stevens-Johnson syndrome [SJS]), and toxic
epidermal necrolysis (TEN), with erythema minor being the most mild and TEN the
most severe. An often-cited study from1993 proposed a useful clinical classification
of erythema multiforme, SJS, and TEN based on the pattern of individual skin lesions and
the estimation of body surface area with detachment of the epidermis (i.e., blisters,
denuded areas, or erosions) at the worst stage of the disease. Although
SJS and TEN may represent the same process with differing severity, erythema multiforme,
with its minimal mucous membrane involvement and less than 10 percent epidermal
detachment, now is accepted as a distinct condition.(Erythema Multiforme MICHELE R. LAMOREUX, M.D., MARNA R. STERNBACH, M.D.,and W. TERESA HSU, M.D., PH.D., Drexel University College of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).
