Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), an uncommon condition in children: case report and review of the literature
Abstract
Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is characterized by acute onset of a widespread pustular eruption in association with fever. It is usually seen as a medication reaction. We describe a 17-month-old boy with AGEP secondary to exposure to amoxicillin. This is an uncommon condition in children.
