Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis after Ingestion of Lacquer Chicken

INTRODUCTION

In 1980, Beylot et al first described acute gen­eralized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) as an acute pustular eruption on an erythematous bed, accompanied by fever and neutrophilia. A wide range of systemic drugs have been suspected of causing these reactions in more than 90% of cases. Rarely, intake of lacquer chicken can be a cause of AGEP, and Park et al reported four such cases. We present a case of AGEP induced by ingestion of lacquer chicken, which contains a known allergen, urushiol. cialis professional
