Abstract
- Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis(AGEP) is a relatively rare exfoliative skin syndrome. It consists of a generalized eruption of pustules in response to medication or infection. Antibiotics are the most commonly implicated medications. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAID) can also trigger AGEP. However, So far, a case of AGEP due to ibuprofen has not been reported in Korea. Therefore we report a case of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis as a result of use of ibuprofen in a 10 years old female.
