Zusammenfassung:Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a serious cutaneous adverse reaction with high mortality rate. The severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 virus disease represented a global pandemic known as coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), without exact cure up to date.

Here we aimed to report a patient, who was treated concomitantly for TEN and COVID-19 with a good clinical outcome by reviewing the existing literature.
