  • Title: Erythema multiforme following polymorphic light eruption: a report of two cases.
    Author: Fraser-Andrews EA, Morris-Jones R, Novakovic L, Hawk JL.
    Journal: Clin Exp Dermatol; 2005 May; 30(3):232-4. PubMed ID: 15807676.
    Abstract:
    We report two patients in whom episodes of polymorphic light eruption were followed by recurrent erythema multiforme on exposed and nonexposed sites. Treating the polymorphic light eruption with prophylactic PUVA and/or oral prednisolone or cyclosporin prevented the development of erythema multiforme, suggesting that the two events are related. It is possible that erythema multiforme develops as a response to the same causative antigen as polymorphic light eruption.
