Acute localized exanthematous pustulosis (ALEP) is a rare, acute eruption that is related to drug intake in almost 90% of cases
Summary
A 5 year-old-patient presented with a two-day history of itchy perineal lesions. His mother reported that he was bitten by a shiny black-colored spider on the left inguinal fold, that she saw but could not capture as she was frightened. Acute localized exanthematous pustulosis (ALEP) is a rare, acute eruption that is related to drug intake in almost 90% of cases. Recent findings have underlined the potential implication of viral infections as well as spider bites in this skin condition. We report a particular case of pediatric ALEP triggered by a spider bite and we hope that it will help enlarge the images library of acute and sterile pustular eruptions.
