Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) represent a severe spectrum of rare mucocutaneous reactions that are primarily drug-induced and characterized by significant morbidity and mortality. These conditions manifest in extensive skin detachment, distinguishing them from other generalized skin eruptions. The rarity and severity of SJS/TEN underscore the importance of accurate diagnostic criteria and effective treatments, which are currently lacking consensus. This review proposes new diagnostic criteria to improve specificity and global applicability. Recent advances in understanding the immunopathogenesis of SJS/TEN are explored, emphasizing the role of drug-specific T-cell responses and human leucocyte antigen polymorphisms in disease onset. The review also addresses current therapeutic approaches, including controversies surrounding the use of immunosuppressive agents and the emerging role of tumour necrosis factor-α inhibitors. Novel therapeutic strategies targeting specific pathogenic mechanisms, such as necroptosis and specific immune cell pathways, are discussed. Furthermore, the development of new drugs based on these insights, including targeted monoclonal antibodies and inhibitors, are examined. The review concludes by advocating for more robust and coordinated efforts across multidisciplinary medical fields to develop effective treatments and diagnostic tools for SJS/TEN, with the aim of improving patient outcomes and understanding the disease and its mechanisms.
