Erythema multiforme major in a 2‐month‐old child with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection

A case is presented of severe erythema multiforme occurring in a 2‐month‐old boy from Zimbabwe which was probably triggered by phenobarbitone. He later developed the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and serological tests suggested that it was a congenital HIV‐I infection.
