Erythema multiforme major
In dermatology, erythema multiforme major is a form of rash with skin loss or epidermal detachment.
The term "erythema multiforme majus" is sometimes used to imply a bullous presentation.
According to some sources, there are two conditions included on a spectrum of this same disease process:
- Stevens–Johnson syndrome
- Toxic epidermal necrolysis which described by Alan Lyell and previously called Lyell syndrome.
However, a consensus classification separates erythema multiforme minor, erythema multiforme major, and SJS/TEN as three separate entities.
