Febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann's disease (FUMH) was first described by Degos in 1966. In the literature, nine cases of FUMH have been reported in both children and adults. We report a 16-year-old boy with the febrile ulceronecrotic type. A review of the nine cases in the literature showed acute necrotic lesions, as well as rare complications such as fever, superinfected lesions and viral infection which are not as common in pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta. There is no definitive treatment, but systemic corticosteroid, methotrexate, antibiotics (tetracycline, erythromycin), aciclovir, and 4,4-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) have been frequently used. The most common histologic feature is mononuclear perivascular infiltrates consisting of T lymphocytes. The etiology is not known, but a hypersensitivity reaction, possibly to an infectious agent, is suggested.

Boyce and Valpey (1971) reported an outbreak of painful ulcers in the wives of servicemen returning from Asia who were themselves symptom free.…”

“…Febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease (FUMHD), described in 1966 by Degos [1], is a variant of pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA); it differs from the latter by the presence of large ulcerous necrotic lesions associated with high fever and systemic manifestations with a possible fatal outcome [2]. …”

A male dark-skinned patient, 33 years old, complaining of a 1-month history of skin lesions in the abdominal region and high fever was admitted to the clinical ward. There were ulcerated and coalescent skin lesions all over the body but sparing the palmar region. The culture of material obtained from the penile lesions was positive for Staphylococcus aureus. He was treated with oxacillin and prednisone. The patient persisted with high fever and skin lesions. After histopathological diagnosis of Mucha Habermann’s disease, treatment was started with tetracycline with rapid improvement of the lesions. He was reexamined by the dermatologic service with no recurrences during the 12 months of follow-up. At this time, there was a great number of keloid scars from the skin lesions.
