| description | Erythema Multiforme, (EM) is an uncommon, acute inflammatory disease of the skin and mucous membranes characterized by ulcerations caused by hypersensitivity to drugs, microbial agents or
other allergens. An EM outbreak can result in more severe forms of EM involving the skin, and there are several types of EM manifestations. A hemorrhagic crust on the lip is a pathognomonic sign of this disease. Target lesions may or may not be present in EM cases. When target lesions are not present on the skin, it is very difficult to make a definitive diagnosis of EM. Herpes associated erythema multiforme (HAEM) is an uncommon lesion caused by herpes simplex virus infection. A case of severe painful lesions in a 28-year-old pregnant patient with HAEM is presented here. HAEM is rarely found in pregnant women, and its clinical findings, diagnosis and treatment have not previously been reported. |
