Abstract

Medicine's clinical understanding of reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption (RIME) has evolved over time. It was previously described as Mycoplasma pneumoniae-induced rash and mucositis (MIRM), and before that as a variant of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis. Here, we summarize the current understanding of best practices for RIME diagnosis and management.
