Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) (also known as pustular drug eruption and toxic pustuloderma) is a rare skin reaction that in 90% of cases is related to medication administration.
Recent experimental data reviewed herein are supportive of an early role of drug-induced innate immune activation and innate cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1, IL-36, and IL-17 in the pathogenesis of AGEP. This explains the rapid onset and neutrophilic character of the cutaneous inflammation.
አንድ የ76 ዓመት ሰው ወደ ድንገተኛ ክፍል የመጣው ባለፉት ሁለት ቀናት ውስጥ ቆዳቸው ስለተለወጠ ነው። ዶክተሮች ግንዱ እና እጆቹ እና እግሮቹ ላይ ቀይ ሽፋኖችን እና ከፍ ያሉ ቦታዎችን አግኝተዋል. ጊዜ እያለፈ ሲሄድ እነዚህ ንጣፎች አንድ ላይ ተጣመሩ እና በቀይ ቦታዎች ላይ ብጉር የሚመስሉ እብጠቶችን ፈጠረ. በምርመራዎች ከፍተኛ የነጭ የደም ሴሎች ብዛት ኒውትሮፊል ተብለው የሚጠሩ ብዙ አይነት እና C-reactive protein ጨምረዋል። A 76-year-old male patient presented as an emergency due to a 2-day history of skin changes. Physical examination revealed disseminated erythematous macules and plaques on the trunk and extremities. In the further course, confluence of the macules and non-follicular pustulosis developed in the area of erythema. Laboratory tests revealed leukocytosis with neutrophils and elevated C-reactive protein.
