It is rarely seen in childhood. Erythema nodosum may occur as an isolated condition or in association with infectious (streptococcal pharyngitis, tuberculosis, Epstein-Barr virus infection, fungal infection) and noninfectious conditions (sarcoidosis, inflammatory bowel disease, connective tissue diseases, antibiotics, malignancies). Erythema nodosum associated with mycoplasma infection is uncommon. We report here the case of a 10-year-old patient with erythema nodosum associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. The patient had no symptoms of the respiratory system. (J Pediatr Inf 2014; 8: 190-2)
