The article provides a review of literature on the long-term consequences of Lyell's syndrome (one of the forms of toxic epidermal necrolysis). Among them: chronic eczema with xerosis and itching, skin depigmentation, hypertrophic and keloid scars, nail lesions, eyes, including dry eye syndrome and chronic conjunctivitis with/without obliteration of the nasolacrimal canal, kidney disease, lung disease, Sjogren's syndrome, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and others.
Clinical case. The authors present their clinical case of an 11-year-old girl who suffered from Lyell's syndrome at the age of 8 and has been observed for the past three years, share their clinical and laboratory-instrumental observations and treatment strategies. In particular, they report about the revision of the clinical diagnosis with which the girl was admitted to the OHMADYT hospital, from BA to chronic secondary obstructive bronchitis, the detection of chronic conjunctivitis with obliteration of the nasolacrimal canals, chronic sinusitis, secondary immune deficiency, keloid skin scars.
Conclusions. Despite constant rehabilitation therapy and a significant improvement in the general condition of the girl, it was not possible to fully restore the function of mucociliary transport, as a result ventilation of small bronchi gradually deteriorates, bronchiectasis is observed in the basal segments of the right lung, a polyserial strain S. aureus is formed, which is constantly sown from the child's sputum; it was not possible to fully restore the patency of the nasolacrimal canals and achieve a stable remission of chronic sinusitis.
The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies.
No conflict of interest was declared by the authors.
