Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare severe cutaneous adverse reaction triggered in most cases by drugs. It is characterized by abrupt onset and rapid evolution of fields of sterile pustules on an erythematous background. The role of genetic predisposition in this reactive disorder is being explored. We report the simultaneous occurrence of AGEP in two siblings after being exposed to the same drug.
