Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is a rare, severe skin and mucous membrane reaction that often follows medication exposure or infection. Symptoms include fever, widespread red or purplish rash, blistering, and potential organ involvement. In some cases manufacturers or healthcare providers may bear liability for warnings, monitoring, or administration errors. Understanding the cause helps determine accountability and the path toward possible compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and related losses.
