Abstract
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is characterized by “target” lesions and profuse mucous membrane involvement. Stevens-Johnson syndrome is frequently drug-induced, being due less frequently to infections. Stevens-Johnson syndrome is very rarely a manifestation of infectious mononucleosis, with only one case being reported in the literature. When confronted with Stevens-Johnson syndrome without any imputable medication, complete screening for infection should be performed, in particular for primary EBV infection.
