5. Secondary Infections Increase Risk
There are plenty of health conditions that can increase your risk of developing Steven-Johnsons Syndrome, and your doctor should know that special care should be taken when prescribing medication to a potential high-risk case – this is essential, and if you spot any of the first symptoms of SJS happening to you, an appointment with your doctor is vital to ensure that the condition is treated in time and the body doesn’t undergo any permanent damage as a result.
These health conditions aren’t the only things that can potentially increase your risk of contracting SJS: Secondary infections anywhere in the body can also increase your risk of developing the disorder, especially when combined with any of the other risks that are associated with SJS – and the same if you are taking a medication which can increase your risk of developing a condition like Steven-Johnsons Syndrome.
See your doctor with any symptoms.
