Dr Sarah Walsh of the EADV Education Committee sits down and speaks with prominent researchers Dr Pauline O'Reilly and Prof. Jean-Pascal Lefaucheur to discuss two previously poorly-explored aspects of SJS/TEN. Prof Lefaucheur gives insights in to the prevalence of chronic skin pain and possible pathomechanisms, and Dr O’Reilly discusses her research in the area of post-traumatic stress disorder and other psychological consequences of this devastating disease, for patients themselves, their families and their care-givers.
