<em>Mycoplasma pneumoniae</em>-induced rash and mucositis: A rare extrapulmonary manifestation of <me>mycoplasma pneumoniae</em> infection Trilok Chand Rushikesh NaikMaya Banshidhar<p>Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) is a common atypical pathogen in humans, causing community-acquired pneumonia. Isolated Mycoplasma pneumoniae cases are commonly seen in the community, but an extrapulmonary manifestation like severe mucositis without skin lesions is rarely seen. The Mycoplasma-Induced Rash and Mucositis (MIRM) or Mycoplasma Pneumoniae-Associated Mucositis (MPAM) is a severe manifestation of an atypical organism. Still, morbidity and mortality are less than Mycoplasma-Associated Steven Johnson’s Syndrome (MASJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN). We reported a case of a young adult admitted with pneumonia and rapidly developed severe mucositis without skin manifestations, which has increased his morbidity and recovery time.</p> Global Journal of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Research - Peertechz Publications 2023-05-06 Case Report https://doi.org/10.17352/2455-5363.000056 en Copyright © Trilok Chand et al.
