a skin condition characterized by symmetrical, red, raised skin areas all over the body.
An acute inflammatory reaction characterized by deep red papules, macules or vesicles often in the classic target or iris lesions. Although as many as half of cases can be idiopathic, it has been associated with several precipitants including drugs, contact allergens, herpes infection, Mycoplasma infection, pregnancy, malignancy, and others.
An eruption of flat or raised spots of skin as a result of hypersensitivity to certain drugs or allergies.
A disease characterized by a vivid red skin eruption that appears suddenly on the face, neck, forearms, legs, feet and hands. This disorder results from hypersensitivity to some drugs and also sometimes appears spontaneously -- probably as a result of a defect in the immune system.
a red rash caused by hypersensitivity to a drug or disease or other allergen
A medical condition characterized by inflammation of the skin or mucous membranes (including the mouth, throat and eyes). Erthema Multiforme has been reported following infection. Symptoms persist anywhere from 2 days to 4 weeks and include skin lesions, blisters, itching, fatigue, joint pain and fever.
An acute eruption of macules, papules, or subdermal vesicles presenting a multiform appearance, the characteristic lesion being the target or iris lesion over the dorsal aspect of the hands and forearms; its origin may be allergic, seasonal, or from drug sensitivity, and the eruption, although usually self-limited (e.g., multiforme minor), may be recurrent or may run a severe course, sometimes with fatal termination (e.g., multiforme major or Stevens-Johnson syndrome).
A skin disease characterized by papular (small, solid, usually conic elevation of the skin) or vesicular lesions (blisters), and reddening or discoloration of the skin often in concentric zones about the lesion. Associated with many infections, collagen disease, drug sensitivities, allergies, and pregnancy. A severe form of this condition is Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.
A type of hypersensitivity reaction (rash) that occurs in response to drugs, infections, or illness. The exact cause is unknown. A severe form of this condition is called Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
Erythema multiforme is a skin condition of unknown etiology that usually follows an antecedent infection or drug exposure. It varies from a mild, self-limited rash (E. multiforme minor) to a severe, life-threatening form (E. multiforme major, or Stevens-Johnson syndrome) that also involves mucous membranes.
