title: The pustular disorders.
abstract: The pustular disorders constitute a subgroup of the vesiculobullous disorders defined by the presence of eosinophils or neutrophils with prominent accompanying intercellular edema or a canthelysis involving various levels of the epithelium. Herein, we describe the clinical and pathologic attributes of the subcorneal, infectious, neonatal, papulosquamous, drug-induced and miscellaneous pustular conditions.
