Abstract EN
We report a female patient with rheumatoid arthritis which was refractory to methotrexate, leflunomide, and anti-TNF therapy.
She was treated with anti-IL-6 tocilizumab (TCZ), with an early appearance of sterile pustules on erythematous swollen skin of trunk, back, and abdominal area.
The lesions were consistent with the diagnosis of acute drug-related generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP).
This adverse event was controlled with medical treatment without requiring removal of TCZ.
