Summary

This study tested a drug called G-CSF in 10 adults with a severe, life-threatening skin reaction called toxic epidermal necrolysis (also known as Stevens-Johnson Syndrome). The goal was to see if G-CSF could help the skin heal faster. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either G-CSF or a placebo for five days, and their healing was tracked for three months after leaving the hospital.
