초록
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) are 2 distinct entities that can overlap within the spectrum of severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR). AGEP is a self-limiting and drug-induced eruption characterized by sudden onset of sterile pustules, erythema, and sometimes fever. SJS, in contrast, is a severe form of SCAR that causes blistering and necrosis of the skin and mucosal membranes, often leading to significant morbidity and mortality. However, there are cases where patients may present with symptoms that overlap between AGEP and SJS, making it challenging to differentiate the 2 conditions. This report describes a 70-year-old male with nontuberculous mycobacterium tenosynovitis in the left hand, coinfected with methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and Klebsiella oxytoca. After administration of additional antibiotics, the patient developed fever and erythematous macules with purpuric centers on the trunk and the extremities. Further examination revealed marked leukocytosis and elevated C-reactive protein levels. Skin biopsy histopathology showed subcorneal intraepidermal pustule formation with neutrophil infiltration. The patient’s clinical course improved after cessation of the culprit drugs and treatment with a high-dose systemic steroid. This case highlights the rare occurrence of SJS/AGEP overlap and underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis and appropriate management of these SCAR.
Abstract
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) are 2 distinct entities that can overlap within the spectrum of severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR). AGEP is a self-limiting and drug-induced eruption characterized by sudden onset of sterile pustules, erythema, and sometimes fever. SJS, in contrast, is a severe form of SCAR that causes blistering and necrosis of the skin and mucosal membranes, often leading to significant morbidity and mortality. However, there are cases where patients may present with symptoms that overlap between AGEP and SJS, making it challenging to differentiate the 2 conditions. This report describes a 70-year-old male with nontuberculous mycobacterium tenosynovitis in the left hand, coinfected with methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and Klebsiella oxytoca. After administration of additional antibiotics, the patient developed fever and erythematous macules with purpuric centers on the trunk and the extremities. Further examination revealed marked leukocytosis and elevated C-reactive protein levels. Skin biopsy histopathology showed subcorneal intraepidermal pustule formation with neutrophil infiltration. The patient’s clinical course improved after cessation of the culprit drugs and treatment with a high-dose systemic steroid. This case highlights the rare occurrence of SJS/AGEP overlap and underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis and appropriate management of these SCAR.
