Febrile Ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann Disease: A Case Report and a Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: The characteristics and treatments of febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease (FUMHD) are not well-understood. We reported a FUMHD case, and searched Medline, Embase, Pubmed, Scopus, and Web of Science from inception to June 16, 2021, to perform a systematic review to synthesize its characteristics and treatments.

Adults were associated with a higher risk of death (OR = 12.976, 95% CI: 1.049, 160.504, p = 0.046), but not positive blood bacterial cultures (p = 0.102).
