[Acute generalized pustulosis. A clinico-histopathological study on differential diagnosis (author's transl)]

Case report of a 51 years old woman with an acute generalized pustulosis. The histopathological findings in the epidermis were those of pustular psoriasis. But vascular findings in the corium were suggestive of a drug reaction, as was the history of a drug-induced onset of the disease in the course of an infect of the upper respiratory tract. Thus exanthematic pustular psoriasis may be considered as both diseases, psoriasis and drug reaction.
