Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is characterized clinically by fever, pruritus and acute pustular eruption. Usually a drug is found to be the responsible agent. We present a patient who experienced an acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis due to radioactive thallium. The eruption cleared rapidly after discontinuation of the drug and systemic corticosteroid therapy. |
