Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a severe cutaneous adverse reaction characterized by sterile pustules on erythematous skin associated with fever and leukocytosis. The annual incidence of AGEP is estimated to be 1-5 cases per million. Cases of AGEP with oral mucosa involvement have been reported. However, reports of AGEP involving airway mucosa are limited.
