POD Drugs and Bugs

EM, RIME, SJS-TEN
The Alphabet Soup of Blistering Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reaction

The Drugs and Bugs Focused Study Group presents a spirited conversation on whether Reactive Infectious Mucocutaneous Eruption (RIME) should be a separate condition from Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS). Moderated by Dr. Michele Ramien, Dr. Erin Mathes, and Dr. Yvonne Chiu debate RIME, SJS, and other blistering severe cutaneous adverse reactions. In this three-part miniseries, episode one presents the case for RIME, episode 2 states the case for SJS, and episode three is a moderated discussion between the two opposing sides to highlight the research still needed to come to a consensus, while also shedding light on active research in this area.
