Summary Mycoplasma pneumoniae ‐induced rash and mucositis is the most accurate diagnosis for patients with blistering mucocutaneous disease provoked by an infection. Recent literature suggests expansion of the name is required, as other infections have caused a clinically similar presentation. This review provides a concise update on current understanding of M. pneumoniae ‐induced rash and mucositis and other reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruptions.
