ABSTRACT
Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis(AGEP) presents with the abrupt onset of a wide spread pustules on an erythematous base and rapid spontaneous healing. The most possible causes of AGEP seem to be antibiotics, viral infection and exposure to mercury. We report five cases of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, all of which presented wide spreaded tiny pustules on an erythematous base. Histopathologic examination showed that there are subcorneal pustules, rete ridge elongations and perivascular infiltration. We suspected that the possible causes of five cases were pharyngitis and various drugs each.
