A Case Report of Possibly Related Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis with Staphylococcus pettenkoferi

Abstract

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), an uncommon severe cutaneous adverse reaction, is believed to be a T cell-mediated hypersensitivity reaction, of which the most common cause is medication. However, infections have also been reported to be associated with AGEP. Here, we present a case of AGEP possibly related with Staphylococcus pettenkoferi .
