title: Diffuse acute pustular eruption after streptococcal infection--a new instance of pustulosis acuta generalisata.
abstract: We report a 6-year-old boy with a diffuse acute pustular eruption which appeared after an erysipela. On the basis of the history and clinical features we made a diagnosis of pustulosis acuta generalisata. An 8-day antibiotic course with amoxicillin and clavulanic acid was instituted. After 1 week the erysipela and the pustular eruption had healed and no relapse of the rash occurred in the following month.
