Anubha Bajaj

Erythema multiforme arises as a spectrum of reactive muco-cutaneous disorders exhibiting maculopapular or vesiculo-bullous eruptions. The condition may be designated as erythema multiforme (major or minor), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS). Aforesaid disorders exhibit significant involvement oforal mucosa along with epidermal necrosis. Erythema multiforme is an acute, self limiting, immune mediated disorder which emerges as a hypersensitivity reactionto pertinent antigenic stimuli. The condition may arise due to diverse carcinomas, collagen vascular diseases, drugs or bacterial and viral infections and is associated with a favourable prognosis [1,2].
