ABSTRACT

Introduction: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a bacterium of worldwide distribution which commonly causes respiratory infections such as tracheobronchitis and atypical pneumonia. It has recently been described as etiology of a disease called Mycoplasma pneumoniae-induced rash and mucositis.
Objective: Present the first known report of Mycoplasma pneumoniae-associated mucositis in Peru, diagnosed by compatible clinical picture and confirmed by serology.
Clinical case: A male 11-year-old patient from the Tacna Region in Peru presented with a clinical state of four days' evolution characterized by fever, coughing, dyspnea, bilateral purulent conjunctivitis and very painful erosive lesions on the jugal mucosa, tongue and lips. The patient received antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal treatment, to which he responded favorably. Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection was confirmed by IgM ELISA serology.
Conclusions: Early recognition of this syndrome will lead to a more specific treatment, avoiding the restriction of appropriate drugs.
