Blistering severe cutaneous adverse reactions in children: proposal for paediatric-focused clinical criteria

Blistering severe cutaneous adverse reaction in children: proposal for pediatric-focused clinical criteria. Dr. Michele Ramien summarizes a collaborative study on blistering severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR) in children. It’s very important to diagnose these reactions early and accurately as they can be life-threatening. The study created categories that are more appropriate for diagnosing pediatric patients than what existed in the past. Watch to learn more about the impact on patients and next steps. Note to listeners: please turn up your volume.
