Abstract

Erythema multiforme (EM) is a mucocutaneous disease characterized by the typical target-like erythematous papules and plaques especially localized on the acral regions. It is classified clinically into three subgroups as classical, recurrent and persistent type. Persistent EM (PEM) is a rare variant of EM characterized by the continuous appearance of typical EM lesions and atypical cutaneous or mucosal lesions such as erythematous papules-plaques, targetoid lesions, blistering and necrotic lesions. PEM can be induced by viruses or some malignant and inflammatory underlying diseases although there are some idiopathic cases. Here, we report a 30-year-old woman who was diagnosed as PEM and responded well to treatment with acyclovir. In addition, our case is the first reported case with PEM in Turkey.

Özet

Eritema multiforme (EM) özellikle akral bölgelere yerleşim gösteren, tipik olarak hedef benzeri eritemli makül ve papüllerle karakterize mukokutanöz bir deri hastalığıdır. Klinik olarak klasik, rekürren ve persistan tip olarak 3 alt grupta sınıflandırılmaktadır. Persistan eritema multiforme (PEM), sürekli görülen tipik EM lezyonları ve eritematöz papül- plaklar, hedef tarzı lezyonlar, büller ve nekrotik lezyonlar gibi atipik deri ve mukoza lezyonları ile karakterize EM’nin nadir bir varyantıdır. Burada persistan eritema multiforme tanısı konulan ve asiklovir tedavisi ile düzelen 30 yaşında bir kadın hasta sunuyoruz. Ek olarak, olgumuz Türkiye’de rapor edilen PEM’li ilk olgudur.
