Abstract

In this case report, we detail the case of a young adult with a recurrent case of Reactive Infectious Mucocutaneous Eruption (RIME) in the setting of Sars-COV-2 infection, the second time this has been reported in the literature. We review the more common causes of RIME, including Chlamydophila pneumoniae, metapneumovirus, parainfluenza, rhinovirus, enterovirus, and influenza; and we discuss patient characteristics in other reported cases of RIME secondary to COVID-19 and the features of recurrent RIME seen in patients reported in the literature. Our patient had the characteristic severe mucosal involvement seen with RIME, and was treated with supportive care alone and experienced rapid improvement in symptoms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
