Overview
Causes

Drug Induced SJS:
One of the main triggers to cause SJS is the drug induced reaction
- Usually happens in first 2 months of treatment with drugs often within 4-28 days
- Typically occur after the first prolonged exposure to drug
- Unlikely to be caused by drugs that are being taken for a long time by the patient
- The most commons drugs that can cause SJS include[1]:
- Anti-Infective Sulfonamides
- Allupurinol[2]
- Anti-Epileptics include
- Antibiotics include
- Pencilllin
- Sufa drugs
- Ciprofloxacin has also been reported to be associated with SJS[3]
- Other Less commonly associated drugs may include

- Albendazole
- Amifostine
- Amoxicillin
- Boceprevir
- clofarabine
- Cefadroxil
- Cefotaxime sodium

Infection Induced SJS
SJS can be caused by infections, usually following viral infections:
Other Causes
- Malignancy (carcinomas and lymphomas)
- Idiopathic factors (up to 50% of the time). SJS has also been consistently reported as an uncommon side effect of herbal supplements containing ginseng.
- SJS may also be caused by cocaine usage.[8]
- Drug side effects:
- Atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride
- Cefaclor
