    Abstract:
    Mycoplasma pneumoniae causes up to 10-40 % of community-acquired pneumonias. The incidence of M. pneumoniae pneumonia is greatest among children and young adults. The symptoms of M. pneumoniae upper and lower respiratory infections are usually mild and often self-limited. The most frequent extrapulmonary complications present in CNS, heart and skin. The skin affiliations are usually transient erythematous maculopapular or vesicular rashes but may sometimes evolve into Stevens-Johnson syndrome. M. pneumoniae is one of the most common microbe behind the infectious causes of SJS. We present a patient who developed incomplete Stevens-Johnson syndrome concomitant of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia.
