Abstract

Flakka, as the newest member of the synthetic cathinone group, is a substance with serious cardiovascular, neurological, psychiatric, infectious effects and addictive potential. There are only a few case reports and laboratory studies in the literature and there is no dermatological side effects reported yet. We present the first Stevens-Johnson syndrome/Toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) overlap case after Flakka use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
