abstract={Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare, idiosyncratic, unpredictable drug reaction. It is potentially a life threatening dermatological disorder. At present there is no definite consensus regarding the management of TEN. Treatment of TEN with etanercept has shown promising results in the recent literature where conventional systemic therapies are either contraindicated or have failed. We report a case of nevirapine induced TEN treated successfully by administering single dose of 50 mg etanercept given subcutaneously that resulted in complete re-epithelialization and without any complications.},
