We present a case report of a patient with toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), associated with therapy with trimethoprin and sulfamethoxazole. Because of the similarity of TEN to an extensive partial-thickness burn, and the favorable response to the treatment used in burns, surgeons who treat burns should be familiar withe disease and take an active role in its management.
