Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis is a rare adverse cutaneous reaction characterized by the rapid appearance of numerous pustules arising on edematous, erythematous skin. It is commonly accompanied by fever and leukocytosis and usually resolves with discontinuation of the offending agent. Herein, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis induced by terbinafine is described, followed by a brief review of the literature.
