Article Synopsis
- Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare, typically drug-induced rash that presents as pustules and lacks solid evidence for effective treatment with corticosteroids, yet they are commonly prescribed.
- The ToxiTEN group, comprising European dermatologists and allergologists, created recommendations for diagnosing and managing AGEP based on their expertise and literature review.
- These expert guidelines outline necessary healthcare professionals, diagnostic processes, management strategies, and follow-up care, emphasizing the importance of a collaborative approach to treatment.
Importance: Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a rare but potentially fatal drug hypersensitivity reaction. To our knowledge, there is no international consensus on its severity assessment and treatment.
Objective: To reach an international, Delphi-based multinational expert consensus on the diagnostic workup, severity assessment, and treatment of patients with DRESS.
