چکیده
Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis (AGEP) is a dermatosis characterised by an acute episode of appearance of sub-corneal sterile pustules over erythematous-edematous skin. AGEP is often associated with systemic symptoms such as high grade fever and is usually considered to be an adverse drug reaction, although a viral etiology is sometimes implicated. Here we report a case of AGEP following the intake of dapsone in a patient with leprosy.
