Blood Stream Infections (BSI) are considered a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN). We aimed to identify risk factors for BSI upon admission, highlight clinical and microbiological findings and ascertain the frequency of mortality in patients with BSI in SJS/TEN. ⋯ Vigilant monitoring and early detection of BSI in SJS/TEN patients, especially those presenting with high SCORTEN scores can enhance clinical outcomes.
