title: A case of childhood generalized pustular psoriasis treated with dapsone.
abstract: Acute generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, sometimes fatal, exudative form of psoriasis characterized by acute febrile pustular psoriasis. Unlike the adult forms, GPP in childhood tends to undergo a more benign course. It may resolve spontaneously with only supportive treatment, but may sometimes be life threatening and resistant to therapy. We report a case of GPP in 7-year-old girl treated successfully with dapsone.
