Case report shows mucositis linked to rhinovirus and HHV-7 in a child, suggesting RIME may resemble SJS.
Reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption (RIME) is a recently identified nosological entity that distinguishes certain mucocutaneous reactions caused by bacterial or viral infections from Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS). We present the case of a 14‐year‐old boy who developed mucositis with minimal skin involvement associated with positivity for rhinovirus and HHV‐7, which is consistent with a diagnosis of RIME.
