Characterization of Recurrent RIME

Pediatrics | Children | Dermatology

Have you been diagnosed with any of the following?

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS)
Recurrent Infectious Mucocutaneous Eruptions (RIME)
Mycoplasma pneumoniae Induced Rash & Mucositis (MIRM)
Erythema Multiforme (EM)
Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN)


Researchers want to understand why people get these severe burn-like skin reactions following infections so that we can better treat them and prevent them from happening to you again.

We will collect information from your medical records to identify possible triggers. Since these reactions are rare, we are working with hospitals across the United States and Canada to enroll patients and find answers faster.

You will be asked for a sample of saliva (spit) and have the option to give a blood and/or skin sample.
