Pustular eruption following administration of cephradine. 1986

R E Kalb, and M E Grossman

We report the case of an unusual generalized pustular drug eruption caused by the cephalosporin cephradine. Previously reported pustular drug reactions are briefly reviewed. We suggest that a reaction to an administered drug should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a patient presents with fever and a diffuse pustular eruption.
