Abstract: | We report a case of acute generalized pustular bacterid (AGPB) concomitant with erythema nodosum (EN), polyarthritis, and Achilles tendinitis. The patient was admitted with a complaint of fever, widespread plural pustules, erythema, and polyarthralgia. Histopathological examination of the skin lesions demonstrated features of AGBP and EN. Although arthralgia and AGPB can be recognized together, EN and Achilles tendinitis are rare manifestations seen in patients with AGPB. In this case report, we suggest arthralgia, EN, and Achilles tendinitis could coexist with AGPB. |
