Abstract

Generalized pustular eruptions may occasionally present challenges both for diagnosis and treatment. A 55-year-old male was hospitalized with fever and a severe generalized pustular eruption after recent intake of diltiazem. A careful interpretation of history, clinical course and investigation findings and an active treatment intervention proved the key to management of the case.

Keywords: Diltiazem; generalized pustular eruption
