Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a well-known cause of community-acquired pneumonia, mostly associated with dermatological manifestations especially with mucosal involvement and targetoid cutaneous lesions. For many years, it was considered among the spectrum of erythema multiforme. Recently, some authors have recommended the creation of a new syndrome called "mycoplasma-induced rash and mucositis." This new syndrome has distinct epidemiological, clinical and histological features making it different from drug-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrosis and erythema multiforme. Herein, we report two patients with acute Mycoplasma pneumoniae respiratory tract infection presenting severe mucocutaneous lesions in accordance with this new syndrome.
肺炎支原体是一种众所周知的社区获得性肺炎的病因，主要与皮肤表现有关，特别是黏膜受累和靶形皮肤损伤。多年来，它被认为是多形性红斑的一种表现。最近，一些作者建议创建一种新的综合征，称为“肺炎支原体引起的皮疹和黏膜炎”。这种新的综合征具有独特的流行病学、临床和组织学特征，使其与药物诱导的史蒂文斯-约翰逊综合征、中毒性表皮坏死松解症和多形性红斑不同。在此，我们报告了两例急性肺炎支原体呼吸道感染患者，他们出现了严重的黏膜皮肤病变，符合这种新的综合征。
