Abstract
We report a 10-year-old girl in whom Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) (with a cute gingivostomatitis and conjunctivitis) was associated with a pustular e ruption clinically and histologically similar to Sneddon-WiIkinson subcorne al pustulosis. This is a very rare form of SJS, the true incidence of which is probably underestimated.
