Abstract

We report a case of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome treated with ozone autohemotherapy. The patient had been diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson syndrome 3 months before admission to our clinic by the treating physician. There was ulceration of the buccal, nose and ocular mucosa (varying grade). Previous treatment with antiviral and anti-inflammatory drugs was done without any apparent result. The patient received a total of eight major autohemotherapies, with treatments administered every third day. We start with a first infusion of blood treated with low ozone doses followed by vitamin C 7.5 g. After the first treatment the patient showed a sudden relief of symptoms and the ulcers disappeared. The treatment was repeated to reach a stable condition and a follow up of six months showed the complete healing of the patient.
