Recurrent erythema multiforme after alcohol ingestion in a patient receiving ciprofloxacin: a case report

Parapoxvirus infection in sheep and goats is usually referred to ascontagious pustular dermatitis/ecthyma, ororf, and the corresponding human infection is referred to asorf. In humans, after a brief incubation period of 3 to 5 days, lesions begin as pruritic erythematous macules and then rise to form papules, often with a target appearance. Lesions become nodular or vesicular, and orf lesions often ulcerate after 14 to 21 days. Erythema multiforme and bullous pemphigoid have been associated with parapoxvirus infections and they are rare complications of orf disease. In this case report, we presented a 36-year-old woman with history of contact with sheep, developing a typical orf lesion that is complicated with erythema multiforme and bullous pemphigoid-like eruptions.

Typical Skin

Erythema Multiforme (EM) is a rare, autoimmune mucocutaneous disorder characterized by polymorphous oral presentation and target lesions in the skin. It is a type IV hypersensitivity reaction, triggered by infections, drugs and rarely idiopathic. EM minor shows ulcerations involving a single mucosal site with typical skin target lesions. EM often reduces the quality of life and increases the morbidity due to difficulty in swallowing, speech and mouth opening. This case report highlights the management approach of EM minor in a 32-year-old male patient and its response to systemic steroids using sequential clinical photographs with 1-month follow up.
