Adenoviral-induced rash and mucositis: Expanding the spectrum of reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption.

ABSTRACT

Mucocutaneous eruptions associated with respiratory pathogens, specifically Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), has recently been described as a MIRM (MP-induced rash and mucositis). The term reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption (RIME) has been proposed, since non-MP pathogens may also cause a similar rash and mucositis. We report two cases with clinical manifestations suggestive of MIRM/RIME, both with documented adenovirus infection.
