What is Ciclosporin A in treating toxic epidermal necrolysis about?

Toxic epidermal necrolysis was first described by Alan Lyell, a Scottish dermatologist, in 1956. That is why this nosological entity is also referred to as Lyell’s syndrome. It is an extremely rare disease characterized by extensive epidermal necrolysis and systemic toxicity. Only an early diagnosis, immediate initiation of treatment, good-quality nutrition and wound care along with accurate microbiological monitoring can improve the prognosis of patients with this disease. We report a case of a severely affected young Vietnamese woman treated with ciclosporin A.
