A case of febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease responsive to systemic corticosteroids

摘要

Febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease (FUMHD) is a rare, potentially fatal subtype of pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA). Herein, we present a rare case of a 14-year-old male without significant past medical history who was diagnosed with FUMHD without a clear inciting factor. He was effectively treated with systemic corticosteroids with complete resolution of symptoms.
