    • Infectious Diseases
    • Systemic Illness

    Background:

    • Erythema nodosum (EN) is a panniculitis characterized by tender subcutaneous nodules.
    • Historically associated with tuberculosis, its etiology has shifted.
    • Identifying triggers and appropriate management is crucial for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To update the understanding of common associations and triggers for erythema nodosum.
    • To review current treatment recommendations and contraindications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical literature and case studies on erythema nodosum.
    • Analysis of etiological factors and treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Streptococcal disease is now a more frequent association than tuberculosis.

  • Oral contraceptives are the leading drug-associated cause.
  • Sarcoidosis is the third most common systemic disease linked to EN.
  • Nodule presentation and resolution are highly variable.

    • Conclusions:

    • Erythema nodosum associations have evolved, with infections and medications being primary drivers.
    • Rest and salicylates are recommended treatments.
    • Corticosteroids are contraindicated due to potential immune suppression.
