Mesalazine-induced pustular drug eruption.
We describe a patient with acute generalized eosinophilic pustuloderma induced by mesalazine therapy. The patient responded to cessation of mesalazine and treatment with systemic corticosteroids. This type of unusual pustuloderma to mesalazine has not to our knowledge been described before.
