In every way what my daughter went through was definitely autoimmune related

however, the cause is " unknown " even by the best allergists in NYC. We believe

in leaving doctors scratching their heads. It's become a load of fun.

I have done ALOT of research on SJS/TENS. I even documented her hospital

stay in pictures. Every day of every struggle. It is quite impressive. One of

the best doctors at the hospital said to us after all the tests they ran is that

whatever triggered the SJS/TEN was something she had come in contact with within

several hours of the initial onset. The only place the child had been was home,

in her car and at school.

It was documented that the school was undergoing a major mold issue at the

time blaming it on roof replacement during the summer months. Testing that was

performed by a lab for the school showed positive tests for many different molds

and bacteria, some visible to the naked eye within the classrooms and hallway

above the drop ceiling.

Ironically, the custodians had been removing the ceiling tiles from the

classrooms during the week that the kids both took ill which in my opinion was

mixing it in the air and exposing it to occupied spaces.

Upon receiving the final report from the school, it was documented that much

of the hallway was not remediated by any means and the custodial staff was told

if it starts to smell, ventilate the area above the ceiling. It has now come to

my attention that much of the faculty has been suffering continuous problems

with sinus issues, bronchitis and headaches and still to this day continue to be

ill.

Unfortunately, the school won't discuss further testing and the health

department says that the school hasn't reported any issues. So the only tests I

have to go on are the original results from September.

> SJS is believed to be an autoimmune disorder. It has been associated with

a variety of exposures, ranging from medications (e.g. Tylenol) through

chlorinated solvents (trichloroethylene). I suggest you do a google search

regarding the medicines prescribed to the children.

> Water damaged buildings contain more than molds. Gram negative and

positive bacteria flourish with the molds. Some of them are interactive with

molds in a synergistic manner (animal and tissue culture studies revealed this).

>

> The bacteria that are present can also cause severe skin problems. These

include Streptomyces spp, Staphylococcus spp. and several different species of

Actinobacteria (especially Mycobacterium and Propionibacterium).

>

> You need to obtain bulk samples of the mold growth and perform the

following: ERMI test to determine mold species; mold cultures at 27 and 25

degrees C (some molds have an optimum growth at 37 C), and bacteria at 55 and 37

degrees C. Make sure that the bacteria cultures are done for Actinobacteria,

Streptomyces, Staphylococcus (Gram positive bacteria) as well as Gram negative

bacteria.

> The endotoxins (lipopolysacccharides) released by Gram negative bacteria

are irritants of the respiratory tract and can cause a flu-like condition. The

1-3-beta-D-glucans (mold cells wall polysaccharides) are also present at

concentrations up to 500 times greater than spore counts. These are also

irritating to the respiratory tract. see the URLs below for further information.
