Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis as a Delayed Dermatotoxic Reaction to IV-Administered Nonionic Contrast Media

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to report three delayed, generalized, and protracted cutaneous reactions in two patients that are compatible with acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) after contrast medium administration. CONCLUSION: Radiologists and referring clinicians need to be aware of late adverse reactions to the administration of contrast media and to distinguish these from other possible causes.
