The discussion centers around a parent's concern that their son may have Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) following hospitalization. The child has a history of severe atopic dermatitis and was recently treated with antibiotics and steroids, which may have triggered the reaction.

The parent seeks information beyond standard resources, particularly regarding the nuances of SJS and its differential diagnoses.
