Abstract	Stevens–Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is an immune mediated mucocutaneous syndrome that causes epidermal necrosis, detachment of less than 10% of the total body surface area, mucosal erosions, and systemic symptoms such as fever and malaise. Allopurinol is a commonly used medication that lowers uric acid production which is essential for gout treatment and prevention. Although many patients tolerate allopurinol therapy without severe complications. SJS induced by allopurinol is strongly linked with the presence of HLA-B*58:01 in the Asian population. We present the case of a 49-year old female with history of long standing Gout, in addition to hypertension and hypothyroidism who was successfully managed with comprehensive medical and structured nutritional intervention.
