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.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Mix scraps of meat (the older, the better) with something sweet (see list below). Lots of people swear by using rotten fish or shrimp, which probably work best because they smell so much. Bait for Fruit Flies: Use fruit (the riper, the better), apple cider vinegar, fruit juice, syrup, wine, beer, or any combination.

Hope this helps!
