Mycoplasma-induced rash and mucositis (MIRM) is an extrapulmonary complication of a common respiratory infection caused by *Mycoplasma pneumoniae*. MIRM presents with a specific set of symptoms, most notably prominent mucositis affecting multiple mucosal surfaces, which helps differentiate it from similar mucocutaneous diseases.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections can sometimes cause extrapulmonary manifestations, and in rare cases, one such manifestation is a distinct mucocutaneous condition known as MIRM disease, or Mycoplasma-induced rash and mucositis. This condition affects mucosal membranes more severely than the skin and is most common in young males.
