title: Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis.
abstract: A case of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is described. A brief review of AGEP is undertaken with emphasis on its differentiation from acute generalized pustular psoriasis. AGEP is also compared with and contrasted to acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, or 'Sweet's syndrome' and Sneddon-Wilkinson pustular dermatosis.
