Answer:

The correct answer is option E, that is, toxic epidermal necrolysis.

Explanation:

The painful exfoliation of the mucous membranes and the skin two weeks after starting allopurinol indicates Toxic Epidermal Syndrome. A potentially life-threatening dermatologic ailment featured by widespread necrosis, erythema, and bullous detachment of the mucous membranes and epidermis is known as the toxic epidermal necrolysis. The further leads to exfoliation, and possible death or sepsis.

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Glucose           it is a sugar and then a biomolecule. It is necessary in the

                          cellular respiration because it helps in the production of

                          ATP.

Small                90% of the absorption of the nutrients is in the Small

                           intestine.

H₂O                    water is a very useful molecule that is necessary in most of

                           the chemical reactions.

Small                  I was doubting between small and large intestine, I finally

                           decided by small intestine because it absorbs 90% of all

                          the water.
