Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare, serious disorder of your skin and mucous membranes. The NIH says SJS affects 1 to 2 per million people each year. It’s usually a reaction to a medication or an infection.

It is often triggered by a medication or an infection and can cause some serious and painful symptoms.

Tampa resident, Donna Rushing joined me on the Outbreak News This Week Radio Show to talk about her battle with SJS that began one year ago.
