Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis is an uncommon cause of rash, typically presenting with pustules with an erythematous base and associated skin-peeling. Frequently caused by medications, including penicillins and quinolones, cephalosporins are rarely reported as an offending agent. Here, we present a case of rare acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis secondary to recent cephalosporin use presenting to our rural healthcare facility. We aim to raise awareness of this unusual rash secondary to cephalosporin use.
急性泛发性脓疱性皮病是一种不常见的皮疹病因,典型表现为有红斑基底的脓疱并伴有皮肤脱屑。其常由药物引起,包括青霉素和喹诺酮类,头孢菌素很少被报道为致病因素。在此,我们报告一例继发于近期使用头孢菌素的罕见急性泛发性脓疱性皮病病例,该病例出现在我们的农村医疗机构。我们旨在提高对这种继发于头孢菌素使用的不寻常皮疹的认识。
