ReferencesErythema multiforme (EM) ass eng Bedingung, wou markéiert Zil‑ähnlech Flecken souwuel op der Haut wéi och op der Schleimhaut optrieden wéinst Immunreaktiounen. Och wann dacks duerch virale Infektiounen ausgeléist gëtt, besonnesch Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), oder bestëmmte Medikamenter, bleift d'Ursaach a ville Fäll onbekannt. D'Behandlung vun akuter EM konzentréiert sech op d'Erliichterung vun de Symptomer mat Cremen, déi Steroiden oder Antihistaminika enthalen. D'Verwaltung vun widderhuelender EM ass am effektivsten, wann se op all Patient ugepasst ass. Den initialen Approche beinhalt souwuel medizinesch wéi topesch Behandlungen. Dës enthalen Corticosteroiden an antivirale Medikamenter. Topesch Behandlungen besteet aus staarken Steroidcremen an Léisungen fir betraffe Schleimhäute. Fir Patienten, déi net op antivirale Medikamenter reagéieren, enthalen Second‑Line‑Optiounen immun‑ënnerdréckend Medikamenter, Antibiotike, Anthelmintika an Antimalaria.
Erythema multiforme (EM) is an immune-mediated condition that classically presents with discrete targetoid lesions and can involve both mucosal and cutaneous sites. While EM is typically preceded by viral infections, most notably herpes simplex virus (HSV), and certain medications, a large portion of cases are due to an unidentifiable cause. Treatment for acute EM is focused on relieving symptoms with topical steroids or antihistamines. Treatment for recurrent EM is most successful when tailored to individual patients. First line treatment for recurrent EM includes both systemic and topical therapies. Systemic therapies include corticosteroid therapy and antiviral prophylaxis. Topical therapies include high-potency corticosteroids, and antiseptic or anesthetic solutions for mucosal involvement. Second-line therapies for patients who do not respond to antiviral medications include immunosuppressive agents, antibiotics, anthelmintics, and antimalarials

An ville Fäll dauert mëll Erythema multiforme nëmmen 2 bis 4 Wochen. Stevens‑Johnson Syndrom, e schwéiere Zoustand, deen d'Schleimhäute beaflosst, kann bis zu 6 Wochen daueren. Steroiden sinn net typesch fir mëll Fäll recommandéiert. Ob Steroiden fir schwéier Erythema multiforme benotzt solle ginn, ass ongewëss, well et keng kloer Erkenntnisser aus randomiséierten Studien ginn, déi weisen, wéi Kanner vun dëser Behandlung profitéieren.
In most cases, mild erythema multiforme is self-limited and resolves in 2 to 4 weeks. Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a serious disease that involves the mucous membranes and lasts up to 6 weeks. There is no indication for using steroids for the mild form. Use of steroids for erythema multiforme major is debatable because no randomized studies clearly indicate which children will benefit from this treatment.

Mir presentéieren e Fall vun mëndlechem erythema multiforme (EM), verursaacht duerch TMP/SMX, deen typesch mëndlech a Lip‑ulcers ouni Hautlesiounen weist. Dëst ënnersträicht d'Noutwennegkeet, aner mëndlech ulcerativ Stéierungen ze differenzéieren. De Patient krut symptomatesch Behandlung mat Prednisolon‑Tabletten, wat zu enger Verbesserung féiert, nodeems d'TMP/SMX‑Therapie gestoppt gouf.
We report a case of oral erythema multiforme (EM) secondary to TMP/SMX that presented with oral and lip ulcerations typical of EM without any skin lesions and highlights the importance of distinguishing them from other ulcerative disorders involving oral cavity. The patient was treated symptomatically and given tablet prednisolone. The condition improved with stoppage of TMP/SMX therapy.

Erythema multiforme ass eng Reaktioun vun der Haut an heiansdo vun der Schleimhaut, ausgeléist vum Immunsystem. Typesch manifestéiert et sech als Zil‑ähnlech Läsionen, déi isoléiert, widderhuelen oder bestoe bleiwen. Dës Läsionen beaflossen normalerweis symmetresch d'Extremitéiten, besonnesch hir baussenzeg Uewerfläch. D'Haaptursaachen enthalen Infektiounen wéi Herpes Simplex Virus a Mycoplasma pneumoniae, souwéi verschidde Medikamenter, Immunisatiounen an Autoimmunerkrankungen. Den Ënnerscheed tëscht erythema multiforme an Urtikaria hänkt vun der Dauer vun de Läsionen of; erythema multiforme Läsionen bleiwen normalerweis fir zwou bis dräi Deeg, wärend urtikarial Läsionen dacks bannent engem Dag verschwannen. Och wann et ähnlech ass, ass et entscheedend, erythema multiforme vum méi schwéiere Stevens‑Johnson Syndrom ze differenzéieren, dat typesch mat erythematösen oder purpuren Makulen mat Bléiser presentéiert. D'Gestioun vum erythema multiforme involvéiert symptomatesch Erliichterung mat topical steroids (topeschen Steroiden) oder antihistamines (Antihistaminle) an adresséiert déi ënnerliegend Ursaach. Fir widderhuelend Fäll, déi mam Herpes Simplex Virus verbonne sinn, gëtt prophylaktisch antiviral Therapie recommandéiert. Schwiere Schleimhaut‑Engagement kann eng Hospitalisatioun fir intravenös Flëssegkeeten an Elektrolyt‑Ersatz erfuerderen.
Erythema multiforme is a reaction involving the skin and sometimes the mucosa, triggered by the immune system. Typically, it manifests as target-like lesions, which may appear isolated, recur, or persist. These lesions usually symmetrically affect the extremities, particularly their outer surfaces. The main causes include infections like herpes simplex virus and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, as well as certain medications, immunizations, and autoimmune diseases. Distinguishing erythema multiforme from urticaria relies on the duration of lesions; erythema multiforme lesions remain fixed for at least seven days, while urticarial lesions often vanish within a day. Although similar, it's crucial to differentiate erythema multiforme from the more severe Stevens-Johnson syndrome, which typically presents widespread erythematous or purpuric macules with blisters. Managing erythema multiforme involves symptomatic relief with topical steroids or antihistamines and addressing the underlying cause. For recurrent cases associated with herpes simplex virus, prophylactic antiviral therapy is recommended. Severe mucosal involvement may necessitate hospitalization for intravenous fluids and electrolyte replacement.

D'Konditioun variéiert vun engem méllen, selbsbegrenzte Ausschlag bis zu enger schwéierer, liewensgeféierlecher Form, bekannt als Erythema multiforme major, déi och d’Schleimhaut involvéiert. Invasioun vun der Schleimhaut oder d’Présenz vu Bullen sinn wichteg Zeechen vun der Schwéierkraaft.
- Erythema multiforme minor: typesch Ziler oder opgehuewe, edematös Papelen, verdeelt akraal.
Déi mëll Form weist normalerweis liicht Jucken (awer Jucken kann staark sinn), rosa‑roude Flecken, symmetresch arrangéiert, an fänkt un den Extremitéiten un. D'Resolution vum Ausschlag bannent 7–10 Deeg ass d'Normal an dëser Form vun der Krankheet.
- Erythema multiforme major: typesch Ziler oder opgehuewe, edematös Papelen, verdeelt akraal, mat Bedeelegung vun enger oder méi Schleimhäiten. Epidermal Detachment involvéiert manner wéi 10 % vun der Gesamtkierperfläch.
○ Behandlung ― OTC Medikamenter
Wann et mat Féiwer (steigend Kierpertemperatur) begleet gëtt, ass et recommandéiert, d'Spidol sou séier wéi méiglech ze kontaktéieren.
Verdächteg Drogen solle gestoppt ginn (z. B. Antibiotika, net‑steroidal anti‑inflammatoresch Medikamenter).
Oral Antihistaminika wéi Cetirizin a Loratadin géint Jucken.
