ABSTRACT
The terminology surrounding the clinical syndrome characterized by acute mucositis with minimal skin involvement has been a subject of debate over time. In recent years, terms such as mycoplasma-induced rash and mucositis and reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption (RIME) have been introduced to encompass milder mucocutaneous diseases associated with respiratory infections, with implications for management and prognosis. We report the first case of recurrent RIME associated with Chlamydophila pneumoniae infection in an adult patient. RIME is likely underreported due to misclassification and a lack of testing for potential pathogens. Early recognition of recurrent RIME is of particular interest from the patient's perspective to reduce the frequency and duration of hospital admissions.
