Pranavya P.L.* and Aisha Jalaludeen
ABSTRACT
Carbamazepine is the most common drug used to treat partial epileptic seizures whereas oxcarbazepine is a newer drug that was developed with the intention to be as effective as carbamazepine but to cause fewer side effects. Oxcarbazepine has rarely shown to induce Steven Johnson Syndrome. Here we report a pediatric case with SJS which was induced by oxcarbazepine.
Keywords: Carbamazepine, epileptic seizures, oxcarbazepine, SJS.
