Abstract
Erythema multiforme (EM) is an acute self-limited polymorphous eruption, probably mediated by deposition of the immune complex in the superficial microvasculature of the skin. Most common causes include infectious agents followed by drugs and contact dermatitis. Approximately 50 % cases are idiopathic.We report a case of a 14-year-old girl with vesiculobullous form of erythema multiforme eruptions with typical target lesions. Patient had recurrent episodes of herpes labialis for the past 4 years and recurrent erythema multiforme like lesions for the past 2 yrs. Serological investigation specific for herpes simplex type 1 virus concluded the etiological factor in this patient. There are only few case reports in India with Herpes Iris of Bateman kind of erythema multiforme lesions with positive infective trigger, and hence reported for its classical findings in this patient.
