Abstract

A 37-year-old woman died after 18 days from her starting to take sulindac for low back pain. Based on her clinical course and the autopsy findings, the cause of her death was Lyell syndrome (toxic epidermal necrolysis) induced by sulindac. This case is described together with the legal aspects of medical malpractice to which it gave rise.
