Moxifloxacin-Induced Bullous Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis (AGEP): A Case Report of a Rare Clinical Presentation. [PDF]
Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR) typically characterized by sterile pustules. The bullous variant of AGEP is exceptionally rare and represents a significant diagnostic challenge as it clinically mimics toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). We report the case of a 91‐year‐old woman who developed

A review on toxic epidermal necrolysis-like superficial wound lesions: Issue and challenge on 10 clinical entities. [PDF]
Abstract Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a severe skin reaction caused by extensive epidermal and mucosal necrosis. This clinical phenomenon is known as an acute syndrome of apoptotic pan‐epidermolysis (ASAP). The ASAP phenomenon is observed in conditions that mimic TEN, highlighting the challenge in distinguishing these conditions.

A Saudi Woman with Ceftriaxone Induced Fixed Drug Eruption. [PDF]
Background. A fixed drug eruption (FDE) is an immunological cutaneous adverse reaction, classified as a cutaneous adverse drug reaction (CADR) and characterized by well‐defined lichenoid lesions that occur at the same site each time. Ceftriaxone is a third‐generation antibiotic of cephalosporin antibiotics of the beta‐lactam antibiotic family, which ...

Treatments for Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions
Severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR) is life‐threatening. It consists of Stevens‐Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), and generalized bullous fixed drug eruptions (GBFDE).

Immunohistopathological Findings of Severe Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions
Diagnosis of severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions should involve immunohistopathological examination, which gives insight into the pathomechanisms of these disorders. The characteristic histological findings of erythema multiforme (EM), Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) provide conclusive evidence demonstrating ...
