ABSTRACT
Introduction: Major erythema multiforme (EMM) is a rare acute dermatosis in children. Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) is a recognized infectious etiology, associated with potentially severe cutaneous and mucosal manifestations. Objective: To describe three pediatric clinical cases of EMM associated with MP infection. Methods: Descriptive study of three children hospitalized for EMM with serological confirmation of MP infection. Results: All three patients presented with target lesions, variable mucosal involvement, and a respiratory context. MP serology was positive in all cases. Clinical outcomes were favorable in two patients; one patient experienced two recurrences. Conclusion: MP-associated EMM requires early recognition. Management relies on a multidisciplinary approach, with careful attention to differential diagnoses and potential viral co-infections.
