Mycoplasma pneumoniae-induced pneumonia with Stevens-Johnson syndrome of acute atypical course.
We present a case of Stevens-Johnson syndrome of acute clinical course with massive occupation of the mucus membranes of the respiratory system, oral cavity, genitals and conjunctiva in a patient with pneumonia. A probable etiological factor was infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, however clarithromycin could be another potential inducing factor.
