Reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption: an increasingly encountered complication during periods of increased <i>Mycoplasma pneumoniae</i> transmission—a case report

As dedicated <i>M. pneumoniae</i> testing may not be available in all settings, clinicians should consider a diagnosis of RIME for patients presenting with similar para- or post-infectious mucositis, even in the absence of traditional respiratory symptoms. RIME incidence is expected to increase in the setting of a higher prevalence of <i>M. pneumoniae</i> disease. As RIME can be associated with significant morbidity including dehydration and weight loss as well as disease recurrence, proper management of patient symptomatology is essential.
