We report the case of a patient who was admitted to hospital for a pneumonia in association with a Stevens-Johnson syndrome. The association of these conditions suggested a Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, which was confirmed on serology. There were three other extra-respiratory complications discovered: cold agglutinins, a disturbance of liver function tests, and circulating anticoagulant; both the two latter and the Stevens-Johnson syndrome are rare complications.
A patient with rhinitis developed systemic contact dermatitis when starting oral treatment with Rhinalair, containing pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. A few months later, another oral treatment Rinutan, containing norephedrine hydrochloride, provoked a more severe generalized eczema. Patch test reactions were strongly positive to ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, slightly positive to phenylephrine and negative to epinephrine. Norephedrine was not tested.
