Fuchs' syndrome
(Stevens-Johnson syndrome without skin involvement) is a sporadically diagnosed disease. Most authors consider it to be a pure mucosal variant of Stevens-Johnson syndrome; however, some consider the syndrome a separate entity. The complete absence of cutaneous symptoms may be the reason that not all cases of
Fuchs' syndrome
are diagnosed and properly classified. The authors describe a case of a 22-year-old patient suffering only from mucosal symptoms, diagnosed as
Fuchs' syndrome
from the context of the tests performed. A
Mycoplasma
pneumoniae infection triggered the disease onset.
Mycoplasma infection
, as a trigger factor of
Fuchs' syndrome
in adults, has so far been described in only a few isolated cases worldwide.
