Background Erythema multiforme is part of a spectrum of diseases beginning with a self-limited rash of the skin and mucous membranes which may progress to a disseminated blistering and sometimes fatal disorder known as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS). Older classification systems divided the disease into erythema multiforme minor and major. The major variant is associated with fever, systemic symptoms, and severe oral lesions. These severe cases were sometimes termed SJS and were usually associated with drugs while the minor form was associated with herpes and other infections. At the extreme end is toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) which is the most advanced form of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and erythema multiforme. One clinical distinction uses the diagnosis of TEN if greater than 30% of the total body surface area is involved by blisters and peeling and SJS when mucosal lesions are present and the blisters involve less than 30% of the total body surface area. Working Classification System Bullous erythema multiforme Recurrent erythema multiforme Persistent erythema multiforme Stevens-Johnson syndrome Overlap Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (epidermal detachment between 10-30%) Toxic epidermal necrolysis with spots (widespread purpuric macules or target lesions) Toxic epidermal necrolysis without spots The recurrent form has been associated herpes simplex virus infection. The persistent form has been associated with underlying malignancies and Epstein-Barr virus.
