==Overview==
Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) usually begins with fever, sore throat, and fatigue, which is misdiagnosed and usually treated with antibiotics. Ulcers and other lesions begin to appear in the mucous membranes, almost always in the mouth and lips but also in the genital and anal regions. Those in the mouth are usually extremely painful and reduce the patient's ability to eat or drink. [[Conjunctivitis]] of the eyes occurs in about 30% of children who develop SJS. A rash of round lesions about an inch across arises on the face, trunk, arms and legs, and soles of the feet, but usually not the scalp.<ref name=Tigchelaar>{{cite journal |author=Tigchelaar H | coauthors = Kannikeswaran N ; Kamat D |title=Stevens–Johnson Syndrome: An Intriguing Diagnosis |journal=Consultant for Pediatricians|month=December | year = 2008 |url=http://www.pediatricsconsultantlive.com/display/article/1803329/1403936 }}</ref>
