Abstract
Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare cutaneous eruption mainly provoked by drugs. A case of AGEP
in a 74-year-old male that was attributed to the ingestion of terazosin hydrochloride is presented. This is the first reported
case of this association in medical literature. The history, clinical presentation, and pathogenesis of AGEP are discussed.
