Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis as a delayed dermatotoxic reaction to IV-administered nonionic contrast media.
OBJECTIVE
Our objective was to report three delayed, generalized, and protracted cutaneous reactions in two patients that are compatible with acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) after contrast medium administration.


CONCLUSIONS
Radiologists and referring clinicians need to be aware of late adverse reactions to the administration of contrast media and to distinguish these from other possible causes.
