Pediatr Dermatol. 2007 Jul-Aug;24(4):E22-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1525-1470.2007.00433.x.

Abstract

Pulmonary manifestations are well recognized during the acute phase of Stevens-Johnson syndrome but persistent pulmonary sequela is rarely reported. We report two boys with bronchiolitis obliterans following the acute phase of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and discuss the clinical picture and treatment of persistent pulmonary complications with reference to earlier reports.
