Abstract
Corticosteroids are often recommended for the treatment of severe Stevens-Johnson syndrome. We report about a 12 years old boy, who developed this syndrome during an immunosuppressive therapy with prednisone and cyclophosphamide for a frequent relapsing, steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome. Most of the commonly mentioned etiologic factors for erythema exudativum multiforme could be excluded. The usefulness of corticosteroids for the therapy seems to be doubtful.
