[Generalized acute exanthematous pustulosis caused by carbamazepine]

Generalised acute exanthematic pustuloses are severe skin reactions that are induced by drugs. These toxidermies are characterised by sudden appearance of a diffuse area of erythema, covered with a scattering of superficial pustules, starting most often on the face and in the folds. Most often, the inducing drugs are the antibiotics, more rarely carbamapezine.
