A Rare, Cephalosporin-induced Rash: Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis is an uncommon cause of rash, typically presenting with pustules with an erythematous base and associated skin-peeling. Frequently caused by medications, including penicillins and quinolones, cephalosporins are rarely reported as an offending agent. Here, we present a case of rare acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis secondary to recent cephalosporin use presenting to our rural healthcare facility. We aim to raise awareness of this unusual rash secondary to cephalosporin use.
