Case Report of Piperacillin-Induced Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis During Pregnancy.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare condition in the general population, and its occurrence during pregnancy is even more uncommon. Toxic epidermal necrolysis is associated with a high mortality rate that necessitates prompt referral to a specialized burn center upon diagnosis to optimize patient outcomes. In the case presented, the patient was treated in the obstetrics department, where nursing staff may have had limited experience in managing TEN. Currently, no established guidelines are available for the nursing care of patients with TEN during pregnancy. In this case report, we detail the nursing care process for a patient who developed TEN during early pregnancy, provide novel insights, and contribute to the limited literature on the management of pregnancy-associated TEN.
