A severe form of Erythema multiforme (EM), diagnosed as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) was detected in a 10-year-old Indian male child who took herbal medication of plant origin prescribed by a traditional healer for remission of his fever. The child developed a severe and florid form of mucocutaneous oral ulceration, severe ocular manifestations, along with marked constitutional disturbances and dehydration. An extensive literature search revealed few previous reports of herbal drug induced EM and SJS. In India, traditional therapy with herbal preparation (Ayurvedic medicine) is not uncommon.
