Chlamydia psittaci-Induced Reactive Infectious Mucocutaneous Eruption With Ocular Involvement.

Such blistering inflammation has most commonly been described after pediatric respiratory infections because of Mycoplasma pneumoniae with additional instances related to Chlamydia pneumoniae, Epstein-Barr virus, influenza B, and other stimuli. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of C. psittaci-induced reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption (RIME). RIME is a rare parainfectious inflammatory condition with sequelae frequently involving the periocular mucosa. Although systemic and nonocular adverse outcomes in this condition tend to be self-limited, the impact on the ocular surface may be severe, and the consequences to vision may be ongoing, especially if not treated aggressively at the outset.
