Erythema multiforme (EM) can occur as primary skin disorder or as skin manifestation of systemic infection or chronic inflammatory disease; often a manifestation of hypersensitivity to drugs (penicillin, barbiturates); vaccinia, BCG, and poliomyelitis vaccines, herpes simplex, food allergens, and infectious organisms can induce EM; hypersensitivity is a common factor.
