ABSTRACT
Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis(AGEP) is characterized by the abrupt onset of widespread pustules on an erythematous base and rapid spontaneous healing. Most cases appear to be related to drug reactions, mainly antibiotics, viral infections, and hypersensitivity to mercury. We report two cases of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis which presented with widespread tiny pustules on the whole body. Histopathologic examinations of both cases showed subcorneal neutrophilic pustules with perivascular polymorphous cellular infiltration. We suspected that the possible cause of two cases was inhalant mercury and carbamazepine.
