摘要
We describe two cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis developed during an antiretroviral therapy regimen containing nevirapine. It seems likely that the poor adherence to the dose escalation regimen of nevirapine has caused this life-threatening disease. A complete and written information on the scheduled antiretroviral therapy is mandatory, above all for individuals coming from developing countries where language barriers have not yet been successfully overcome.
