Sadie M Henry, Mark M Stanfiel

Abstract

Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare skin disorder that affects all ages. It is typically noted by an extensive rash, swelling, and erythema, with numerous white pustules. We present a case of a six-yearold who suffered from staphylococcal scarlet fever for several days, which progressed to AGEP, and illustrate the course of her in-patient and primary care.
