Description
Summary:	Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare drug-induced disease characterized by extensive epidermal destruction. We reported here a case of Lyell syndrome which happened few hours later after treatment associating lincomycine chlorhydrate with nonsteroidol anti-inflammatory drugs. The 28-year-old female patient developed many visceral complications with biochemical and haematological disorders. This syndrome is a dermatological emergency whose vital prognosis is displayed.
