5.A Serial Occurrence of Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis in Childhood Siblings.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 2007;45(3):271-274
Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is clinically characterized by the abrupt onset of erythema, non-follicular superficial pustules, fever and rapid spontaneous healing. Other findings such as peripheral neutrophilia and histologically neutrophilic spongiosis and microabscess also suggest AGEP. Its cause was focused on drug and viral infection, but the latter lacks objective evidence as a causative factor. We report two cases of AGEP that serially occurred in siblings without obvious drug history, which strongly suggests there is a possibility that AGEP could be caused by viral infection.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis(AGEP) is characterized by the abrupt onset of widespread pustules on an erythematous base and rapid spontaneous healing. Most cases appear to be related to drug reactions, mainly antibiotics, viral infections, and hypersensitivity to mercury. We report two cases of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis which presented with widespread tiny pustules on the whole body. Histopathologic examinations of both cases showed subcorneal neutrophilic pustules with perivascular polymorphous cellular infiltration. We suspected that the possible cause of two cases was inhalant mercury and carbamazepine.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis is a skin reaction characterized by an acute onset, fever, and a cutaneous eruption with non-follicular sterile pustules on edematous erythema. It mimics many of the features of pustular psoriasis but is differentiated by its characteristic clinical course and history. The cause is usually ingested drugs. We report a case of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis possibly induced by ritodrine

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a cutaneous reaction principally induced by drugs. Spontaneous resolution is observed in most patients. However, severe cases required systemic corticosteroid administration. Hydroxychloroquine, which is used to treat some dermatologic and rheumatologic diseases because of its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, is an uncommon cause of AGEP. A 67-year-old female patient presented with severe AGEP due to hydroxychloroquine treatment. She was recalcitrant to supportive care and systemic corticosteroid treatment butwas successfully treated with cyclosporine. Hydroxychloroquine-induced AGEP occurs in women with underlying rheumatologic diseases, has a longer latent period, and has a severe course usually requiring systemic treatment.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis(AGEP) presents with the abrupt onset of a wide spread pustules on an erythematous base and rapid spontaneous healing. The most possible causes of AGEP seem to be antibiotics, viral infection and exposure to mercury. We report five cases of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, all of which presented wide spreaded tiny pustules on an erythematous base. Histopathologic examination showed that there are subcorneal pustules, rete ridge elongations and perivascular infiltration. We suspected that the possible causes of five cases were pharyngitis and various drugs each.

Acute localized exanthematous pustulosis (ALEP) is a localized variant of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, which is characterized by the eruption of multiple scattered pustules following drug administration. A 26-year-old woman presented with multiple erythematous pustules on her face, which had appeared three days after taking antibiotics. Histopathological findings showed subcorneal pustules and mixed inflammatory cell infiltration in the dermis. The pustules were resolved within 2 weeks after the patient discontinued the antibiotics. Herein, we present a case of a woman with a cutaneous drug reaction consistent with ALEP that occurred subsequent to administration of antibiotics.
