Acute subepidermal cell poor bullous disease with confluent epidermal necrosis. Clinicopathologic correlation is essential.  Should consider SJS/TEN mainly but there are some differentials and depends of diffuse/localized distribution etc..

I need a little more haematoxylin and some higher powers. I agree there is a suggestion of something viral...

I also need some more clinical description of the lesion(s)...

Some of the sections look like a DPAS. Not sure what is going on... focally infarcted, Cant see definite viral inclusions or fungi. Some bacterial debris . Other necrotising lesions? Need more history.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis.  This was the clinical impression as well.
