I have a 7 year old son and I can't begine to imagine how horrible it would be to go through something like this.

May God be with this little soul and her family.

I've never heard of this disease and I'm a nurse. How devastating.

My prayers are with the little girl and her family.

Can you give us any more information regarding this illness. What caused it? Is it contagious?

Joining in prayer ... Lord, have mercy on this little one and restore her, in the name of Jesus. Comfort and encourage her parents ... may they feel Your touch even now.

That poor little girl - she REALLY needs our prayers!

From what I've found, it doesn't appear to be contaigious. I found this on "Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Just the Facts"

What is Stevens Johnson Syndrome?

Stevens Johnson Syndrome, or SJS, is an extreme allergic reaction, usually to a drug, but also to certain bacterial and viral infections. "We usually distinguish between three forms," said Dr. Bernard Cohen, MD, of Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, "A milder form called Erythema Multiforme Minor, or EM, Stevens Johnson Syndrome, SJS, and TENS, or Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome, the most severe form. With EM, which can be recurrent, there will be lesions on the distal extremities (lower legs and arms) and in the mouth - there is little mucous membrane involvement, however. With SJS, which is not recurrent, there are usually blistering ulcerations of the cornea, mouth, rectum, genitalia, skin, and urethra, usually accompanied by a high fever and generalized weakness. TENS involves the entire skin and mucous membrane - the skin literally sloughs off of the person's body."

While there are a number of infectious causes that can initiate an SJS reaction, the most common culprits are drugs. The drugs most implicated are anti-convulsants (like phenobarbitol), sulfonamides, or sulfa drugs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory's (NSAIDS), including ibuprofen, barbiturates, and antibiotics such as amoxicillin and tetracycline. "We just lost a 17 year old boy in Kansas City to SJS apparently caused by tetracycline, " Farrell said ruefully. "He was taking it for his acne. We also have a woman whose daughter went blind after taking ibuprofen. People need to realize that over the counter drugs can cause SJS too."
