Abstract: 【Abstract】 Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a severe cutaneous-mucosal response that carries a high risk of death, mostly induced by drugs, characterized by blisters and generalized epidermolysis, accompanied by a series of systemic symptoms, including multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Based on the latest domestic and international consensus, guidelines and medical evidence, and combined with the current status of the diagnosis and treatment of SJS/TEN in China, the Adverse Drug Reaction Research Center of Chinese Society of Dermatology organized relevant experts to develop this consensus on SJS/TEN in terms of the definition, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, identification of culprit drugs, evaluation of disease progression, treatment, prevention and so on, aiming to provide a reference for clinicians in clinical practice.
