Abstract
The authors report a toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) due to ampicilli n (Agram(R)) in a 2-year-old child. During the acute phase a septic sy ndrome occurred. The severity of the clinical and biological symptoms led to the administration of antibiotics, their systematic use remaini ng controversial. Recovery was favourable in a paediatric burn centre. Sequelae were minor. TEN, the physiopathological mechanism of which r emaining still unknown, may carry a vital risk.
