A 13-year-old girl presented with a 5-day history of fever and cough followed by new-onset oral ulcers and conjunctival injection. Clinical examination revealed bilateral 360-degree subconjunctival hemorrhages, which later evolved to corneal epithelial defects, pseudo-membrane formation, and extensive oral mucosal ulceration. Mycoplasma pneumoniae serum IgG and IgM were positive. Treatment with topical prednisolone acetate, moxifloxacin, preservative-free artificial tears, and erythromycin ointment was initiated. A self-retaining amniotic membrane was placed. The ocular and oral lesions resolved within 2 weeks of treatment, and the patient's vision returned to baseline. Mycoplasma-induced rash and mucositis is a newly defined entity that mainly affects children and has a favorable prognosis with early detection and treatment.
