Prominent mucositis with minimal or no cutaneous involvement in the setting of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection describes a clinical entity recently termed Mycoplasma-induced rash and mucositis (MIRM). About 81% of patients with MIRM experience complete resolution; however, the disease course in approximately 11% of patients is complicated by mucosal sequelae. We describe a patient with MIRM complicated by HSV dissemination and Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteremia and outline the management of mucocutaneous eruptions without systemic immunosuppressant agents.
