Abstract: Objective To probe the experience learned from the treatment of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) induced by aspirin. Methods The possible causes of TEN and treatment protocols were studied and summarized by analyzing the medical records of a patient in June 2019. Results The patient needed oral anticoagulation because of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) two years ago. On the second day after taking oral aspirin, the patient developed red rash before some of the maculae were gradually fused into a large area. Over the next few days, blisters appeared and were ulcerated, and epidermis was exfoliated. TEN induced by aspirin was considered and aspirin was immediately stopped so that the symptoms on the patient's skin were relieved gradually via anti-allergic therapy and symptomatic supportive treatment. Conclusion TEN may be induced by aspirin. Early identification, suspension of suspected medicine and effective treatment are the key to cure of drug-induced TEN.
