Abstract
Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is characterized by acute onset of a widespread pustular eruption in association with fever. It is u sually seen as a medication reaction. We describe a 17-month-old boy with A GEP secondary to exposure to amoxicillin. This is an uncommon condition in children.
