  • Title: Mycoplasma pneumoniae, more than a lung disease.
    Author: Curtiss P, Melnick L, Sicco KL, Liebman TN.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2018 Jun 15; 24(6):. PubMed ID: 30142726.
    Abstract:
    Mycoplasma pneumoniae-induced rash and mucositis (MIRM) is a recently described clinical entity and should be considered in children who present with oral (94% of patients), ocular (82% of patients), and urogenital lesions (63% of patients). MIRM was first described as a distinct clinical entity from Stevens Johnson syndrome/Toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS)/(TEN) in 2015 [1]. As a new, uncommon diagnosis it frequently poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for pediatricians and dermatologists. We report a case of MIRM in a previously healthy 15-year-old boy.
