Abstract
Acute localized exanthematous pustulosis (ALEP) is a localized form of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, characterized by acute onset of multiple nonfollicular, pinhead-sized, sterile pustules following drug administration. Antibiotics, especially β-lactams and macrolides, have been implicated in the majority of cases, although eruption after nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and many other medications has also been reported. Skin reaction arises quickly within a few hours, resolving rapidly within a few days without treatment, and it is usually accompanied by fever and neutrophilic leukocytosis. We report herein all cases of ALEP described in literature, adding the case of a 35-year-old woman admitted to our hospital with outbreak of erythematous pustules on her face, neck, and chest after amoxicillin–clavulanic acid treatment.
