Children And Young Adults

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is an uncommon occurrence inMycoplasma pneumoniae(M. pneumoniae) infection (1–5%) and has been mainly reported in children and young adults. We present a case of SJS in a 32-year-old male induced byM. pneumoniaeinfection. This patient presented with fever, cough, and massive occupation of mucus membranes with swelling, erythema, and necrosis accompanied by a generalized cutaneous rash. He clinically responded after treatment with antibiotics and IVIG. SJS is usually a drug-induced condition; however,M. pneumoniaeis the commonest infectious cause and should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Drug Hypersensitivity Syndrome

Rashes are relatively common in hospitalized patients, but only rarely are they life threatening. Emergent skin conditions in these patients are usually sequelae of medication reactions (drug eruptions) or complications from sepsis. Most drug eruptions are benign and resolve if the offending medication is discontinued. However, the drug hypersensitivity syndrome, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are urgent conditions that require prompt diagnosis and management. Purpura fulminans can develop in patients with sepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation.
