SJS-TEN OVERLAP is TEN and SJS like syndrome characterized by involvement of more than 10% body surface area. But it is limited within 30%. Different types of purpuric macules or rounded patches with mucosal lesions are the characteristic features of this type 3 hypersensitivity reaction. SJS/TEN overlap uninterruptedly presented with fever for 2-3 days. It may be associated with anorexia and malaise., Sometimes, associated with pharyngitis extending an additional few days.
