A certain condition, thought to be a hypersensitivity reaction, is characterized by skin and mucous membrane lesions. The skin lesions are referred to as target, iris, or bull's eye lesions. The lip and mucosal lesions are more extensive and painful and often appear bloody and crusted. The intraoral lesions are extensive superficial ulcerations. The onset is explosive. On the basis of these clinical features, you suspect:

Primary Sjögren syndrome occurs when:

The diagnosis of lichen planus is made on the basis of:

The immune response differs from the inflammatory response because it has the capacity for memory and responds more quickly to a foreign substance if encountered again.

The histologic appearance of lesions in SLE may resemble:

The diagnosis of the type of aphthous ulcers is made on the basis of their distinctive clinical appearance, the location of the lesion, and a:

Behçet syndrome is an acute, nonrecurring autoimmune disease consisting mainly of oral ulcers, genital ulcers, ocular inflammation, and skin lesions. Systemic and topical corticosteroids, as well as immunosuppressive drugs, are used in the management of Behçet syndrome.
