Which percentage detachment defines Stevens-Johnson syndrome in the provided material?

Which percentage detachment defines Stevens-Johnson syndrome in the provided material?

• A. <10%
• B. 10-30%
• C. >30%
• D. 0-5%

Answer: (A)

Classification by extent of skin detachment is what's being tested. Stevens-Johnson syndrome is defined by relatively limited skin detachment, in contrast to the extensive detachment seen in toxic epidermal necrolysis. In the material provided, Stevens-Johnson syndrome corresponds to the smallest detachment category, while larger extents define the overlap category or TEN. So the correct choice is the option describing the smallest detachment.
