چکیده
Background Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is rare cutaneous drug reaction involving drug-specific T lymphocytes and neutrophilic inflammation. Imatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used widely in treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Rash is a common side effect of imatinib, occurring in up to 30% of patients. However, there are only two case reports to date describing AGEP secondary to imatinib.
