Recurrent erythema multiforme with arthritis – A rare association
Journal Title: Nasza Dermatologia Online - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Erythema multiforme (EM) is an acute, immune-mediated, self-limiting mucocutaneous condition characterized by distinctive target lesions. The etiology is diverse and numerous diseases have been associated with EM. However, arthritis has been rarely reported with it. We report a rare association between EM, localized mainly over the joints, and polyarthritis in a male patient, who responded successfully to oral acyclovir.
