ABSTRACT
A survey of burn care facilities in the United States has provided information regarding the treatment of toxic epidermal necrolysis and related diseases in burn units. The survey suggests that a disproportionate share (12% to 15%) of the projected number of cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis that occur annually are being transferred to the 2% of United States hospitals that have burn units. Because of the potential for a complex hospital course and extended length of stay, treatment of these patients in a prospective payment system poses a significant fiscal threat to hospitals with burn units.
