چکیده
AGEP: Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis EBV: Epstein-Barr virus A cute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare severe cutaneous reaction characterized by the acute onset of generalized nonfollicular sterile pustules arising on an edematous erythema. The eruption is usually associated with fever and neutrophilic leukocytosis. Although AGEP is precipitated by drugs in most cases, there have been isolated reports of AGEP associated with infections (parvovirus B19, cytomegalovirus, coxsackie B4, Mycoplasma pneumoniae), mercury exposure, and spider bites. Herein, we report the occurrence of AGEP possibly triggered by an acute primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in a 16-year-old girl.
