Description
AERS data mining supports the hypothesis that drugs associated with Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) undergo biotransformation. Reviews of the role of drug metabolism and SJS and preclinical testing for skin hypersensitivity are provided.

Learning Objectives:
Describe AERS data mining findings that support a role for skin biotransformation of drugs associated with Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS)
Review the evidence for drug metabolism in SJS
Discuss industry nonclinical testing for skin hypersensitivity and relevance to SJS.
