Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Erythema multiforme is considered as an immunologic disease possibly occurring because of predisposition to certain microorganisms, radiotherapy, systemic diseases, malignancy, and food or drug allergy. Here we report a case of herpes-induced recurrent erythema multiforme primarily manifesting in oral mucosa during first two episodes and third episode was characterized by oral lesions followed by skin lesions and the severity was increased with the subsequent episodes, during each incident we have successfully managed the case.
