Popis:	Adverse drug reactions are unintended hazardous effects of drug that can occur with any class of medication;however studies have shown a high incidence with antibiotics. Amoxicillin is a broad spectrum beta lactam antibiotic, commonly used in treating infections, is known to cause cutaneous skin eruptions. Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare but severe life threatening dermatological reaction most often triggered by medications. Here we describe a case of TEN in a 69 year old male following Amoxicillin therapy presenting with mucocutaneous lesions with super added multidrug resistant bacterial infection requiring 20 days of rigorous hospital care.
