CTICasesMycoplasma-induced rash and mucositis
Imaging findings
Chest radiographs in a young male demonstrate low-grade, patchy lung consolidations representing mycoplasma pneumonia. The patient also presented with severe mucositis and skin ulcers, initially suspected to be Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
Key takeaways
Mycoplasma-induced rash and mucositis is a distinct clinical entity triggered by Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, characterized by prominent mucosal involvement with or without skin lesions. It is clinically similar to Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis but has a better prognosis and requires targeted antimicrobial therapy.
