A Systematic Review of Efficacy and Safety of Monotherapy and Combination Therapy With Biologic for Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis 

Kirk Barber is joined by Dr Marisa Ponzo to discuss her article in the Nov/Dec issue of the Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, a deep and thorough investigation of treatments for Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis. Dr Ponzo runs a specialty clinic that reviews these cases and is responsible for the treatment of this very rare disease, at St Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, which has become a referral centre for this condition. She's also the division head of Dermatology at St. Paul's and a community dermatologist at West Dermatology. 

Dr Ponzo's co-authors on this article are Dr Muskaan Sachdeva and Dr Khalad Maliyar, both from the faculty of medicine at the University of Toronto.

This article is open access at the JCMS website for three weeks after this episode is posted.
