Abstract
Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a diffuse pustular disorder, a member of the “neutrophilic dermatoses.” Histologically, it is represented by the presence of vasculitis, linked with nonfollicular subcorneal pustules. Majority of cases is related to medication administration. In this article, we are reporting a case of AGEP caused by terbinafine, an antifungal agent.
