  • Title: Diagnosis of herpes simplex virus-induced erythema multiforme confounded by previous infection with Mycoplasma pneumonia.
    Author: Ladizinski B, Carter JB, Lee KC, Aaron DM.
    Journal: J Drugs Dermatol; 2013 Jun 01; 12(6):707-9. PubMed ID: 23839193.
    Abstract:
    Erythema multiforme (EM) is an immune-mediated hypersensitivity reaction often related to viral infection or medications. Infection-induced EM is typically self-limited and commonly caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) or Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP); recurrent EM is almost always associated with HSV. We present a concise overview of diagnostic techniques for HSV and MP, as repeatedly elevated MP titers in our case led to a delayed diagnosis of HSV-induced EM.
