W Hammerstein, and T Ruzicka, and G Goerz

The Lyell-syndrome and the importance to ophthalmology is demonstrated. The nosological position - as staphylococcal disease (almost only in childhood) and as allergic extreme variant of bullous mucocutaneous disease is described. The differential diagnosis of similar (identical?) syndromes is discussed: Fuchs-syndrome, Baader-syndrome, Fiessinger-Rendu-syndrome. About 15 personal patients and 40 in the literature with LS with participation of the eyes is reported. The clinical results, development of the disease and the histological pictures of the cornea are made for the first time discussed. The therapy by lamellar or penetrating keratoplasty is reported.
