Abstract

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) or toxic pustuloderma is a febrile adverse cutaneous reaction, characterized by small non-follicular sterile pustules. AGEP can occur in any age group and is found to be more common in women. A large proportion (>90%) of cases are triggered by medications, particularly macrolides and aminopenicillins. The occurrence of AGEP following spider bite has been rarely documented in the literature.We report two cases who presented to us with AGEP following spider bite along with dermoscopic findings and also present a brief review of literature on the same.
