An unusual form of Stevens-Johnson syndrome with subcorneal pustules associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.
We report a 10-year-old girl in whom Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) (with acute gingivostomatitis and conjunctivitis) was associated with a pustular eruption clinically and histologically similar to Sneddon-Wilkinson subcorneal pustulosis. This is a very rare form of SJS, the true incidence of which is probably underestimated.
