Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis after pemetrexed, and recurrence after re-introduction. Clinical and experimental dermatology [Clin Exp Dermatol] Journal article | | Title | Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis after pemetrexed, and recurrence after re-introduction. | | Author(s) | Bracke A, Van Marck E, Lambert J | | Institution | University Hospital Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium. | | Source | Clin Exp Dermatol 2008 Aug 9. | | Abstract | Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare cutaneous reaction, which in most cases, is related to medication. Pemetrexed is an antifolate drug, approved for treatment of metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). We present a case of AGEP caused by pemetrexed, and a recurrence of this eruption after re-introduction of pemetrexed despite use of corticosteroids. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
