SJS survivor shares story with local, national media
When Nichole Chapman, of Klamath Falls, Ore., was just 6 years old, she developed a severe skin rash that doctors diagnosed as a bad case of measles. But the rash turned into huge blisters and soon Nichole’s skin was peeling off her tiny body. Doctors began to realize that it wasn’t measles that was eating away at Nichole’s skin, it was a rare and potentially life threatening allergic reaction to medication known as Stevens Johnson Syndrome, or SJS.
