IRTEN – International Registry for Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis

Together with an international team of experts, the Department of Dermatology and Allergology of the LMU Klinikum in Munich/Germany launched the „International Registry for Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis“ (IRTEN). IRTEN is an international, web-based registry for the prospective, pseudonymised collection of clinical data and biological samples of patients suffering from Stevens- Johnson Syndrome (SJS), Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) and SJS-TEN-Overlap Syndromes. The aim of IRTEN is to gain a better understanding of SJS, TEN and SJS-TEN-Overlap Syndromes. We expect new insights into the epidemiology of the disease, clinical characteristics and genetic features of the patients, as well as information about culprit drugs and therapeutic options. We would be very pleased to recruit new competence centers for our project. 

You can find more information on our website www. irten.org, where you can also register online as participating center. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions (derma.irten@med.uni-muenchen.de).
