Example of targetoid rash and presentation of Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Lu H, Zhang B. Mycoplasma-Induced Rash and Mucositis. N Engl J Med 2023;389:1601–1601. https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMicm2305301.
One of the differentials I thought of when reading this article was Kawasaki’s disease. Reminder that Mycoplasma pneumoniae may be a differential as up to 25% can present with mucocutaneous disease. Another differential would be SJS, especially if associated with recent medication changes.
