Abstract
Lamotrigine is a new antiepileptic drug which is effective for partial or generalized seizure. However, administration of lamotrigine alone or in combination with valproic acid may lead to fatal Stevens-Johnson Syndrome(SJS) or toxic epidermal necrolysis(TEN). Although there are many published case reports of lamotrigine-induced SJS or TEN in Western countries, there have been few cases in the Korean Iiterature until now. Herein, we present a case of SJS associated with LTG.
Key Words: Stevens-Johnson syndrome; Lamotrigine
