Abstract
Summary Two cases of erythema multiforme exudativum with distinct clinical differences have been presented. One, representing the severe pluriorificialis type, made a dramatic response to therapy. The other, a mild case with only a skin eruption, responded to no therapy, and the patient remained hospitalized over a long period for frequent recurrences of vesiculobullous skin lesions. Although the causative agents in these two variants of the disease are not known, we feel that they are separate entities. However, the many names now in use for describing all of the variants have confused the recognition and reporting of cases. It is suggested that cases be reported under one name until a sound classification is made.
