Febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease - a case and treatment review

“…Febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease is distinguishable from the two most common types of pityriasis, PLEVA and pityriasis chronica [2]. It is characterized by a sudden onset of multiple generalized ulceronecrotic papules which rapidly coalesce into large ulcers associated with fever [3,4]. Systemic manifestations such as lymphadenopathy, pancytopenia, interstitial pneumonitis, cardiopathy, gastrointestinal dysfunction, central nervous system impairment, disseminated intravascular coagulation, sepsis, and rheumatological symptoms are frequently observed [3,5].…”
