          Abstract

          RESUMEN Presentamos un caso clínico de eritema multiforme. Se trata de una dermatosis aguda con lesiones muco-cutáneas polimorfas que suelen ser bilaterales y simétricas. Su curso suele ser benigno y autolimitado. Por esta razón el tratamiento es sintomático y responden a diversas causas. En raras ocasiones, la evolución tórpida hace de este proceso una enfermedad grave que requiere medidas de soporte extraordinarias como en el síndrome de Stevens-Johnson, por lo que un médico de familia ha de conocerlo y saber tratarlo.

          ABSTRACT We present a clinical case of erythema multiforme. This is an acute dermatosis with polymorphous mucocutaneous lesions which are usually bilateral and symmetric. This usually has a benign and self-limited course. For this reason, treatment is symptomatic and resulting from different causes. Rarely, a torpid evolution makes this condition a serious disease that requires extraordinary support measures like in Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Therefore, family doctors should know it and know how to treat it.

              Characteristics of the oral lesions in patients with cutaneous recurrent erythema multiforme.

              Erythema multiforme may be recurrent and the oral cavity is often affected. A series of 82 patients with unequivocal recurrent cutaneous erythema multiforme were examined to determine the incidence and nature of oral lesions. Seventy per cent of patients had oral lesions, comprising multiple, large, shallow, extremely painful and debilitating ulcers, which affected the entire oral mucosa in over 20%. The buccal mucosa and tongue were the most frequently affected sites in the remainder and the lips were affected in 13% of patients. Lesions generally lasted for 1-3 weeks. In over 60% of cases these attacks followed an episode of herpes simplex virus infection during the preceding fortnight. Recurrent attacks showed a different site distribution from the initial attacks, with a greater proportion having genital as well as skin and oral mucosal involvement. Detailed case histories of five patients are presented to illustrate the role of azathioprine in treating oral lesions and to document a familial case of recurrent erythema multiforme, with severe mucosal involvement.
