What is Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis Due to Codeine Confirmed by Patch Testing, Without Cross-reactivity to Other Opioids about?
We describe a rare case of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis due to codeine confirmed on patch testing, with the notable absence of cross-reactivity to other natural and synthetic opioids. We propose this suggests probable drugspecific type IV (T-cellemediated) hypersensitivity to codeine. Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare and severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR), with drugs being the main elicitors. 1 Examples of common drug culprits include
