Abstract

Erythema multiforme (EMF), an immune-mediated disorder, presents with either cutaneous or mucosal lesions, or both. Although associated with multiple etiologies, the majority are attributed to infectious etiologies and drugs. In this case report, we describe a case of EMF secondary to a very uncommon etiology-mumps. A 22-year-old male presented with targetoid lesions on bilateral palms, the upper and lower extremities, and the trunk. He also had a few targetoid lesions on the lips and glans penis. The patient reported an episode of fever with parotid enlargement and tenderness 1 week before the onset of skin lesions. A serological investigation revealed significantly elevated IgM antibody titers to mumps. Erythema multiforme has many triggering factors, with infections such as herpes simplex virus being the most common, followed by drugs like penicillin, cephalosporins, and others. This case report shows that, in addition to the most common causes, other viral infectious etiologies should also be considered as possible triggers.

多形性红斑(EMF)是一种免疫介导的疾病,表现为皮肤或粘膜病变,或两者兼而有之。虽然与多种病因有关,但大多数病因是感染性病因和药物。在本病例报告中,我们描述了一例继发于一种非常不常见的病因--流行性腮腺炎的 EMF 病例。患者是一名 22 岁的男性,双侧手掌、上肢、下肢和躯干均出现靶状皮损。他的嘴唇和阴茎龟头也有一些靶状皮损。患者报告说,在皮损出现前一周,他曾发烧并伴有腮腺肿大和触痛。血清学检查显示,腮腺炎 IgM 抗体滴度明显升高。多形性红斑的诱发因素很多,最常见的是单纯疱疹病毒等感染,其次是青霉素、头孢菌素等药物。本病例报告显示,除了最常见的病因外,其他病毒感染病因也应被视为可能的诱发因素。

期刊介绍: The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, established in 1921, is published monthly by the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. It is among the top-ranked tropical medicine journals in the world publishing original scientific articles and the latest science covering new research with an emphasis on population, clinical and laboratory science and the application of technology in the fields of tropical medicine, parasitology, immunology, infectious diseases, epidemiology, basic and molecular biology, virology and international medicine. The Journal publishes unsolicited peer-reviewed manuscripts, review articles, short reports, images in Clinical Tropical Medicine, case studies, reports on the efficacy of new drugs and methods of treatment, prevention and control methodologies,new testing methods and equipment, book reports and Letters to the Editor. Topics range from applied epidemiology in such relevant areas as AIDS to the molecular biology of vaccine development. The Journal is of interest to epidemiologists, parasitologists, virologists, clinicians, entomologists and public health officials who are concerned with health issues of the tropics, developing nations and emerging infectious diseases. Major granting institutions including philanthropic and governmental institutions active in the public health field, and medical and scientific libraries throughout the world purchase the Journal. Two or more supplements to the Journal on topics of special interest are published annually. These supplements represent comprehensive and multidisciplinary discussions of issues of concern to tropical disease specialists and health issues of developing countries
