ABSTRACT
Hand-foot-and-mouth disease, a highly contagious viral infection, occurs more common in children than in adults. However, there was a recent outbreak of Coxsackievirus A6-induced infection with an atypical presentation among the adult population. Stevens– Johnson syndrome is a severe mucocutaneous disease characterized by extensive necrosis and detachment of the epidermis, and this condition is commonly caused by medications.Herein, we describe a 30-year-old male patient taking allopurinol for the management of gout. The patient presented with numerous erythematous papules, vesicles, and patches with mucosal eruptions on the whole body, oral mucositis, and fever, and he was finally diagnosed with hand-foot-and-mouth disease.
