Grading of Skin Eruption Severity Grade 1 (Mild): localized skin eruption and/or a skin eruption with limited distribution, with or
without associated pruritus
Grade 2 (Moderate): diffuse skin eruption involving up to 50% of body surface area, with or
without superficial skin peeling, pruritus, or mucous membrane involvement with no ulceration
Grade 3 (Severe): generalized skin eruption involving either >50% of body surface area
OR rash presenting with any of the following characteristics
Rash with vesicles or bullae, superficial ulceration of mucous membranes, epidermal detachment, atypical or typical target
lesions, palpable purpura/non-blanching erythema, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS),erythema multiforme (EM), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), or severe alteration of general state
A skin eruption with appearance of new significant systemic signs and symptoms related to onset and/or progression of
skin eruption must be considered as grade 3
Grade 4 (life-threatening):
Toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, skin eruption with generalized
bullous eruption
