    Erythema multiforme can complicate Rhus (poison ivy) contact dermatitis. Patients experiencing this combination should be hospitalized for monitoring due to potential complications like nephritis.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Toxicology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Contact dermatitis is a common skin reaction.
    • Rhus dermatitis, caused by poison ivy/oak, is a frequent trigger.
    • Erythema multiforme is an immune response often triggered by infections or medications.

    Observation:

    • This case report details a patient with erythema multiforme secondary to Rhus contact dermatitis.
    • The patient presented with symptoms of both conditions.

    Findings:

    • Rhus dermatitis can trigger erythema multiforme.
    • Potential for serious systemic complications, including nephritis, exists.
    • The co-occurrence requires careful clinical evaluation.

    Implications:
