Chlamydia pneumonia – induced mucositis

A 16-year-old healthy male presented to the emergency department with a 5-day history of upper respiratory symptoms, persistent fever, and blisters present within the oral cavity. Two days before presentation, he also developed severe bilateral conjunctivitis with watery discharge. There were no other symptoms such as respiratory distress, skin rash, and genital lesions. He was not sexually active and denied taking any medications recently. His vitals were within normal limits. However, he appeared to be in distress that was secondary to pain.
