title: Pustulosis acuta generalisata following chemotherapy in an HIV-positive patient.
abstract: Pustulosis acuta generalisata is an uncommon condition characterized by scattered symmetrical eruption of sterile pustules associated with elevated inflammatory markers, leukocytosis, fever and arthropathy caused by previous infection by group A streptococci (GAS). We reported here a case of pustulosis acuta generalisata in an HIV-positive patient recently treated with chemotherapy for a seminoma.
