Recurrent reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption (RIME) secondary to Chlamydophila pneumoniae infection in an adult

We report the first case of recurrent RIME associated with Chlamydophila pneumoniae infection in an adult patient. RIME is likely underreported due to misclassification and a lack of testing for potential pathogens. Early recognition of recurrent RIME is of particular interest from the patient's perspective to reduce the frequency and duration of hospital admissions.PMID:37823565 | DOI:10.1111/ajd.14173
