What to expect when AGEP is induced by terbinafine? Case report and critical review of the literature.

When the AGEP causative drug was terbinafine, a delay in recovery was observed, compared to the existing AGEP criteria when other causes are considered. Terbinafine frequently leads to delayed resolution AGEP probably due to the presence of the drug in the skin for several weeks after exposure, even after discontinuation, and the disease severity may be potentialised by additional factors such as concomitant viral infections or vaccination.
