What is the major form of erythema multiforme?

Lupus Erythematosus
Stevens-Johnsons Syndrome
Scleroderma
Behcet's

The correct answer is: Stevens-Johnsons Syndrome

Erythema multiforme is characterized by the major form known as Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. This choice is correct because erythema multiforme is a self-limited, immune-mediated skin condition that results in characteristic target-like lesions on the skin. Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is the most severe form of erythema multiforme, characterized by involvement of mucous membranes in addition to the skin. Options A, C, and D are incorrect: A. Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune connective tissue disorder that can present with skin manifestations but is not the major form of erythema multiforme. C. Scleroderma is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by excessive collagen production leading to hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues, but it is not associated with erythema multiforme. D. Behcet's disease is a rare autoimmune condition that can involve multiple systems including the skin but is not the major form of erythema multiforme.
