AbstractA case of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is presented. The case is notable for the recurrent episodes of AGEP, caused by three beta-lactam antibiotics (piperacillin, ceftazidime, and meropenem) in septicemic patient. The case represents the first report of the reaction developing in response to these three antibiotics. The report is also notable for the spontaneous resolution of the rash in all the three episodes.
