Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis induced by terbinafine.

Abstract	Terbinafine is an allylamine fungicidal agent that is widely used for the treatment of onychomycoses and other fungal infections. Adverse effects may occur in more than 10% of patients receiving oral terbinafine, with cutaneous reactions in 2.7%. We describe the development of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis in a 36-year-old woman who took oral terbinafine.
