Incomplete Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Related to Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Infection: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is a rare and severe mucocutaneous disease characterized by widespread epidermal necrosis and mucosal involvement affecting children and adults. It is an immune-mediated disease usually secondary to drug reaction, but in few cases it is an extrapulmonary complication of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. We report a case illustrating that the incomplete Steven-Johnson syndrome associated to Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection may present with skin and oral mucosal involvement alone without conjunctival or genital involvement.
