Case report describes reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption in a 45-year-old woman, highlighting the need to distinguish it from erythema multiforme.
Reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption is a relatively new entity in dermatology, which is described as a prominent mucositis, mainly involving the oral mucosa and urogenital mucosa, secondary to a bacterial or viral infection. For many years, it was considered part of erythema multiforme and treated accordingly. Here, we report a case of a 45-year-old healthy woman who presented with multiple fluid-filled lesions in her oral cavity for 1 week.
