A diagnostic challenge: acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis or pustular psoriasis due to terbinafine.

A 72-year-old man developed a generalized erythematous pustular eruption 11 weeks after commencing terbinafine. Clinically and histologically, the appearance was that of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), and the disease was managed with topical preparations.

This case highlights the difficulty of differentiating between AGEP and PP.
