Abstract: Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is an acute febrile rash, usually induced by drugs, which recently has been linked to spider bite.We report a case of a male patient, 48 years old, with quadruple topical ointment for dogs an erythematous rash accompanied by fever and small non-follicular pustules.He reported previous pain in the buttock with the onset of a necrotic plaque.The lesion was compatible with spider bite of the genus Loxosceles.According markbroyard.com to the EuroSCAR group instrument, the patient scored +10 indicating definite diagnosis of AGEP.

As the patient had a compatible lesion and had no other triggers of AGEP, in an Loxosceles endemic area, the AGEP would be associated with spider bite, as described in other publications.
