Erythema multiforme (EM) is a skin reaction that comes from an infection or another trigger. EM is a type of allergic reaction. In most cases, it occurs in response to an infection. In rare cases, it is caused by certain medicines or body-wide (systemic) illness. Infections that may lead to EM include:
The most common causes of sudden (acute) aortic valve regurgitation include: 1  Endocarditis, which is an infection in the heart. 2  Aortic dissection, which means that the inner layer of the aorta separates from the middle layer. 3  Problems with a replacement (artificial) aortic valve.  Trauma to the heart valve or aorta.
There can be various reasons for heart valve replacements like: 1  Mitral valve regurgitation is a condition where the oxygenated blood flows backwards into the lungs as opposed to flowing through. 2  Narrowed valve is one more reason for valve replacement in cases like aortic stenosis or mitral stenosis.
