- Title
Determine and remove the drug trigger, usually antibiotics, that causes acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis.

- Abstract
A wide range of drugs has been associated with the development of acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP). Although AGEP is rare and typically self-limiting once the trigger is withdrawn, the reaction can be severe and even fatal in some cases. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management can aid in minimizing adverse outcomes, and for this, an increased awareness of the triggers and presentation of AGEP would be helpful.
