We report the case of a previously healthy 21-year old male with a cough, fever, numerous penile and mouth ulcers, and severe conjunctivitis.

The patient’s condition improved following treatment with clarithromycin and prednisolone tablets, and he had almost fully recovered at follow-up 10 days after discharge.https://www.mdpi.com/2571-841X/4/2/11reactive infectious mucosal eruptions<i>Chlamydia pneumoniae</i> infectioninfectious diseasespneumoniadermatology
