خلاصه انگلیسی

Introduction: Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis ( AGEP ) is an uncommon drug eruption characterized by superficial pustules. Predisposing factors include medications, biting and viral illness. Case Presentation: A 10 year old boy admitted with severe pruritic papulopustular lesions. The lesions were appeared firstly on neck and face, then were spread across the body especially trunk and extremities. The pustular stage was more brief and subsequently erythematous papular rash appeared that suggesting AGEP. He had not got fever, mucosal and internal organs involvement. Treatment was commenced with topical mometasone, but the response was not good, so systemic prednisolone was commenced as 1 mg/kg/day. The lesions became less colored in the few days and subsequently desquamation was appeared. Conclusion: AGEP is a rare condition and the skin conditions such as toxic epidermal necrosis, drug hypersensitivity syndrome and generalized pustular psoriasis may be mistaken with AGEP.
