Unusual Eruptions Associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae Respiratory Infections: Review of the Literature

et al. 2015

Background: Maculopapular or urticarial eruptions and erythema multiforme sometimes occur in patients affected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae respiratory infections. Further eruptions have also been reported. Objective: To review the literature addressing M. pneumoniae respiratory infection and rather unusual eruptions. Methods: Computer-based search in the US National Library of Medicine database as well as in the search engine Google. Results: We found a possible relationship between M. pneumoniae infection and Fuchs' syndrome (n = 37), varicella-like eruptions (n = 8), Henoch-Schönlein syndrome and further leukocytoclastic vasculitides (n = 21) and erythema nodosum (n = 11). A temporal relationship was also observed with 2 cases of Gianotti-Crosti syndrome. Finally, there exists reasonable evidence that pityriasis rosea Gibert and pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta Mucha-Habermann are not associated with Mycoplasma infections. Conclusion: This review implies that M. pneumoniae may cause, in addition to erythematous maculopapular (or urticarial) eruptions and erythema multiforme, Fuchs' syndrome and varicella-like eruptions. Furthermore, there is an intriguing link with leukocytoclastic vasculitides or erythema nodosum that deserves further investigation.

“…3 aylık tedavi sonrası lezyonlar postlezyonel hiperpigmentasyon ve yer yer atrofik skarlar bırakarak geriledi. Hastalığın etyolojisi tam olarak bilinmemekle birlikte enfeksiyon ajanları tarafından tetiklenen inflamatuar bir reaksiyon, T hücre diskrazisine sekonder gelişen inflamatuar bir yanıt veya immun kompleks aracılı bir hipersensitivite reaksiyonu olabileceği gibi teoriler öne sürülmektedir (5). PLEVA'ya sebep olabilecek ajanlar arasında adenovirüsler, Ebstein-Barr Virus, Toxoplasma gondii, Parvovirus B19, Staphylococcus aureus ve Streptococcus pyogenes yer almaktadır (2).…”

“…Klinik olarak en sık karışan hastalık olan lenfomatoid papülozda büyük CD30+ atipik lenfoid hücrelerin olması önemli bir ayırt edici bulgudur. Diğer farkları, Reed-Sternberg hücrelerine benzeyen büyük, atipik, nonlenfoid hücrelerin ve çok sayıda nötrofilin varlığı, nekrotik keratinositlerin az olması veya hiç olmaması, bazal tabakada vakuolar dejenerasyonun az olması veya hiç olmamasıdır (5,6,8).…”

“…(3) tarafından 1966 yılında tanımlanmış, nadir görülen ve bazen ölümcül olabilen PLEVA formudur. Klinik olarak PLEVA'dan ülseronekrotik deri lezyonlarının baskın olması, yüksek ateş, karın ağrısı, diyare, artrit, akciğer tutulumu ve santral sinir sistemi semptomlarının eşlik edebilmesi ile ayrılır (4,5). Burada, ateşin eşlik ettiği ve oral tetrasiklin tedavisine iyi yanıt veren bir PLEVA olgusu sunulmaktadır.…”

Pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) is a cutaneous inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. It has been suggested that infection can be a trigger of PLEVA. Here, we report a case of PLEVA associated with a mixed vaccine injection.A 13-month-old girl was referred to our dermatology department with a 21-day history of multiple erythematous papules without itch. She had received her first vaccine injection against the measles-rubella (MR) and fourth vaccine injection against the haemophilus influenzae b (Hib) and pneumococcus, 7 days before the onset of the eruption. She had a history of persistent cloaca, but otherwise did not have any symptoms. Eruptions appeared on her abdomen and gradually spread over her entire body. When she visited our hospital, erythematous scaly papules and papulonecrotic lesions developed on her trunk, proximal limbs, and forehead. The rash was most prominent on her chest and abdomen ( Figure 1A,B F I G U R E 1 A, Erythematous scaly papules and papulonecrotic lesions on the front of the patient's trunk. B, The same eruptions were seen on her back. C, The biopsy specimen showed marked hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis of the stratum corneum, acanthosis, and intercellular edema in the epidermis. In the dermis, lymphohistiocytic infiltration and erythrocytes extravasation were observed around capillaries (Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E), 920). D, Numerous apoptotic keratinocytes, exocytosis, and focal interface change were noted (H&E, 960)This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License, which permits use and distribution in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited, the use is non-commercial and no modifications or adaptations are made.
