A wide variety of skin manifestations are associated with  Mycoplasma pneumoniae  infection. However, the precise mechanisms by which  M. pneumoniae  infection is able to produce a variety of cutaneous manifestations are poorly understood.    Case presentation  An 8-year-old Japanese girl presented with sequential skin manifestations, including erythema nodosum, erythema multiforme and Henoch-Schönlein purpura. Although a chest radiograph showed no significant lung abnormalities, serological examinations revealed that these skin manifestations were associated with  M. pneumoniae  infection.    Conclusion  It has been reported that the variations in cutaneous manifestations of  M. pneumoniae  infection can be attributed to the immaturity of the adaptive immunity of a host. However, the case presented herein indicates that skin manifestations might not be specific for each individual. An awareness of the varied patterns of cutaneous disease is essential for the early diagnosis and treatment of patients with manifestations of  M. pneumoniae  infection.
