Abstract

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis is characterized by an acute onset of widespread pustule eruption. Fever and leukocytosis may frequently accompany the disease while rapid spontaneous recovery is typical. This disease clinically resembles pustular psoriasis. We present a 10-year-old patient with acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis

Keywords: Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, Child, Psoriasis
